Those Scandinavian freaks are weirdos.

Dude, if you were charged with safeguarding Scandinavian women...

Anyway, the point is, should my wife happen to read this, I would never leave her for any Miss Norway, Denmark, Sweden, or Finland. Never!

Sooo... Raced into a winter storm. So we could get to Devils Tower for a very cold winter hike. The damn visitor center was closed. So I have to order the locator pin from NPS.

Not sure if here or the entertainment thread is the right one for this. My family watched this the other night. Entertaining documentary on Netflix, the dude is a former Gurkha and UK Special Boat Service guy, did the 14 8K summits in six months in 2019 (I think).

14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible - Wikipedia

Since then a woman has done the 14 summits in half the time, but also used a helo to get up to a certain point.

Redbull Rampage (mountain bikes) sent something like 8-10 people to the hospital this year. The women's field on terrain a bit more forgiving than the men (but we're all equal!) was 5 out of the original 12 entrants. This list doesn't cover the people who were stone cold knocked out, rag dolling down the mountain.
The crashes at Red Bull Rampage 2025 were so horrific that people are wondering if the sport has finally gone too far
