Ascension on Speed

Chad Kellogg
On Monday, March 29th, Chad Kellogg is beginning an incredible journey. He’s going to the Himalaya with the goal to set a speed record ascent of colossal, 29,029-foot Mt. Everest. And he plans to set that record without the aid of oxygen or Sherpas. To attempt something this epic, with the hopeful and expected outcome of incredible success but also potentially extreme consequences, requires iron-strong will, drive and focus.
Before embarking on this monumental quest, Chad sat down with the Dirtbag Diaries’ Fitz Cahall to share the motivation behind his trip and how he’s prepared himself. Click to listen to part of this conversation; the first in the series Chad Kellogg: The Everest Quest.
