Lots of great info on here. I'm curious to clarify something that was said and hopefully you can get the correct info. When Scott talks about going from 14 to Summit in a push, he states his given metric as 1,000 m/ hour at first, but then goes on to say 1,000 ft/hr several times. Which is it? Obviously 1,000 m/hr is better, but I'm curious to know exactly what he meant.
Dang! Nathan, you're right. At about 24:30 I switched systems inadvertently. What I said at the start is what i meant. 1000m/hour is the metric to use. Sorry for the confusion.
3000 ft an hour at high altitude, I’m doubtful of that. I’ve been up there multiple times and never seen any individual or groups moving at that rate. That would mean about two hours from 14,000 camp to summit. That’s not happening or achievable
@@cliff9286 I’m not sure if you listened to that section of the actual commentary. He’s talking about the capability of doing 1000m/hr at lower elevations being a fitness marker for considering a push from 14>summit. No one was talking about doing 1000m/hr at 14 and above during this discussion or in my question.
Awesome advise. I have done Rainier twice and just did Emmons route last month. My big objective is Denali. 2025 may be the year.
Great interview. Thank you.
Thanks for the video! Ha ha. I am going to Denali from Florida and am watching this in the altitude tent.

@@cliff9286but fwiw Jack Kuenzle did around 1000m/hr during his speed ascent while I was on the mountain.
Uhm, did he just say he is 70 years old?
I would have believed him, if he told he was 50!
