    An hour to conquer Everest sounds pretty good to me.

    Who held the hour record, Chris Bonnington or Ned Boulting?

    And an hour doing what?

    Bonnington, Boardman, Boulting - all very similar.

    I'm surprised Boonen and Bonaparte dont get confused more often to be honest.

    Apparantly his first alpine climb. [Boulting, not Bonnington or Boardman] I though he was going along nicely making it look very do-able.

    Well, Boulting was even going up the wrong way, up from Jausiers rather than the other side from St Etienne-de-Tinee...

    I did the same last Sept and it looked like it would be harder going the way that the Tour's going today 8)
