Aconcagua spped ascent record
!
Catalan runner Kilian Jornet has climbed his way to a new speed record on Aconcagua. He made a round-trip of the technically easy peak in 12 hours and 49 minutes.
On Dec. 23, Jornet set the record on the highest peak outside of Asia at 6,9,62 metres in less than 13 hours, a trip that often takes multiple days. He acclimatized by climbing the peak on Dec. 15 and sorted out the details of the route. No old record exists, but some speculate the fastest times have been around 15 hours, no one has claimed faster than 13 hours.

31/08 - 04:00 - судейская команда выходит на Гору
Проснулись - посмотрели на погоду - ветерок, временами небольшие порывы ветра- не сильные но порывы..., ясно, холодно желать лучшую погоду, было бы просто наглостью!
"Верхние" судьи собрались, позавтракали и уехали на ратраке на Скалы Пастухова - вот как это было в фотографиях!
Особое спасибо Асхату за точную, по запланированному графику подачу ратрака!!

Vitaliy Shkel's new great achivement
Aug, 24, 2014 Russian athlete Vitaly Shkel run from Azau (~2400m) to Elbrus West top (5642m) and back in 4 hrs 39 min 17 sec!!
As far as we know it is the best result on Elbrus, when the time was fixed for round running up and down, so it is a real new record set at Elbrus slope for running up and down the Elbrus! Congratulation Vitaliy!!!
Vitaly's timing for ascent from Azau to the top was 3 hrs 28 min 41 sec. It's great result indeed!!!! It is quite close to incredible result of Andrzej Bargiel for the same route in 2010 - 3 hrs 23 min 37 sec.. So, 4 years Andrzej keeps absolute record in speed ascent of Elbrus.
Who and when will be able to break Andrzey’s record?
Will Kilian Jornet come to the Caucasus to fight with Andrzey and new Vitaliy's round run records??
Vitaly Skel was the competitor of International Elbrus Race on 2009,
2010, and 2013.
This year IX International Elbrus Race will be held on 8-12 September 2014.

Завтра - забег
Сегодня погода улучшилась - мы наконец, вышли из Бочек, которые раскачивались как поезд несущийся куда-то сквозь ветер и снег (с громами и молниями) и, оказалось, что мы - в Горах!!!
Прошли по "дороге" до приюта 11 и промаркировали участки с трещинами - все легко обходится и проходится, но так - спокойнее.
