完成七大洲最高峰登頂的最短時間--156天

愛爾蘭人 Ian Mc Keever 刷新完成七大洲最高峰登頂的最短時間記錄--156天. http://www.mounteverest.net/news.php?id=16163 探險家網站對七頂峰的評介: While the "Seven summits" describe the highest summit on each continent, the peaks do not represent the tallest mountains on earth. With an average climbing altitude of 5693 meters (including both versions), many of the "seven summits" are trekking peaks with summits situated lower than Everest BC. All except one (Everest) have summits lower than the average camp 1 on 8000 meter peaks. With the normal routes in addition offering few technical difficulties, there have been hundreds of 7summiteers over the last few years compared to the only 12 people in the world who have climbed the earth's highest mountains (the 14, 8000ers). Although popular for its traveling opportunities, the 7 summit quest is considered superficial in terms of mountaineering challenge. 'Seven summiteers' rarely continue to climb higher peaks after finishing their quest, instead they opt for trips such as 'last degree' expeditions to the earth's poles. Originally initiated by American businessman Richard Bass, the seven summit tour offers an unusual (albeit costly) way to see the world and surprising media value - as the "seven summits" often are confused for the world's highest mountains.
