Word from the mountain is that another 90 people will work towards the summit tonight, according to a dispatch posted on Alan Arnettes blog. Arnette posted a dispatch from Himex guide Adrian Ballinger...Adrian has seen the team from Asian trekking, Henry Todd’s team, and teams from Asia and Russia. His best guess is about 65 people, plus replica watch gift the 25 from our team. It’s going to be a busy time on the ropes. To increase our margin of safety, each of our climbers will have 3 bottles of oxygen. That’s enough for 24 hours, so if a log-jam occurs somewhere they can wait it out without difficulty.For frequent updates on Everest, track the climbers progress on Arnettes blog.Joe Spring

The The Breck Epic is a six-day mountain bike stage race held on the backcountry trail network surrounding Breckenridge, CO. Over 200 miles and 40,000 feet or so of climbing await the participants, most of it over 10,000 feet. Their Audemars Piguet replica watches suffering promises to be legendary. Proceeds from the event underwrite local open space initiatives; trail maintenance, increased signage…basically the care and feeding of the whole twisted, beautiful mess. Our man in the field is Jeff Carter, a physician from Denver.
