Great news from Ian McKeever’s Journey Blog. Congratulations!
1st July - 9:30am
Ian McKeever is now the proud record holder of the World Speed Record for the 7 Summits. The team summited Denali yesterday (30th June) to complete the challenge in a total of 156 days, knocking an incredible 31 days off the old record. Summiting alongside Ian was Dave Pritt, Director of Adventure Peaks, who was also completing his 7 Summits.A huge well done to Ian who only started climbing last year but has now proven himself on some of the world’s biggest mountains. They’re hoping to fly back to Talkeetna tomorrow when we’ll be able to bring you the whole inspirational story…

Congratulations to Ian whom I met the night before he headed up Aconcagua. I’m out here in Mekele, Tigray, Ethiopia at the moment but I heard the great news the other day and want to add my heartiest congrats and well done to Ian, fair play to you.

Just a slight correction to our website address, it’s clareoutdoorclub.net and we’re really looking forward to having Ian down with us in November hopefully!
