Mountain Climbers

Ladies, if you want to pick up a man, come to Talkeetna! This town is the base town for everyone climbing Denali. They come here and then sit and wait for a clear day. Single men everywhere! I couldn't wait to meet mountain climbers. We bellied up to a bar and started talking to these two guys, Ian and John. Ian was Irish and John was British. They are trying to set a world record- climbing the tallest mountains on each continent, back to back, in under 100 (Or about that) days. Denali is the last one. Can you imagine? Check out their web site- www.takemehigher.ie They have done 6 summits so far since Jan. I can't climb a small hill 6 times, let alone the world's tallest mountains! Good luck Ian and John!

I just read Ian & John's website. What an amazing record. I agree with you Nettie, I get winded on my stairs, there is no way I could climb 7 mountains, including Everest!
