It’s going to be challenging. It’s going to be pushing beyond my physical limits. The most important thing is to complete it and not die.

This week Chad Kellogg left for his attempt to summit Everest at record speed. According to Outside Kellogg will try this without oxygen, sherpas, or a partner…. all alone. Chad’s goal is to make the summit in 30-something hours. Outdoor Research is sponsoring a broadcast of the trip through audio broadcasts on The Everest Quest. Fitz Cahall of The Dirtbag Diaries is producing this, so it should be good.
Since Kellogg’s wife died in a climbing accident in Alaska he has embraced challenges such as this. “Now is all you have. You have to make the most of it.” he says.
