Mt Everest record disputed. Seems that those wiley sherpas have been competing lately to see who can get up the big mountain the fastest. The record, which was set last year, is 10 hours and 56 minutes by Lakpa Gyelu. The dispute is that this year another sherpa said that he did it in 8 hours and 10 minutes. Last years winner is disputing the result.
The sherpas prove it by taking pictures and radioing to the base camp describing items on the top.
Just stop and think about that. 10 hours. 29,000 feet above sea level. Wow.
