There's chatter in Everest camps about the upcoming speed attempts. Here is an AdventureStats special on the occasion.
01
01
Another piece of history has been carved in the Baltoro rock: with that there has been an update to AdventureStats.
01
01
Full but shorter trips trending, kiting blowing up, a few world records, and an unofficial one. The preliminary stats for all South Pole expeditions are up. Other lists will be updated in the coming weeks. Here some reflections from the past season, 100 years after Amundsen's historic trip.

Only one day away, the moment of truth awaited Scott at the pole one hundred years ago. Thanks to the world wide web, truth is catching up much faster with TV celebrity Helen Skelton. There are real world records in the making though, so let's get to the facts.
01
01
UK media report today that Helen Skelton set a new world record at Antarctica. The claim is false and you could help to kill it.
01
01
Although they all start off from the coast, routes to the South Pole offer a wide range of distances and conditions. To compare difficulty and verify records, and partly because UK media is at it again, here go some fast facts courtesy of AdventureStats.
01
01
We have chosen 6 expeditions who have contributed in an extraordinary way to the Spirit of Adventure in 2011. The awards countdown begins tomorrow, but starts already today with a number of special mentions.
01
01
Adventure stats has been updated for the poles! The increasing traffic with guides and supplementary oxygen on Himalaya 8000ers has a polar equivalent: numbers show less and less people making the "difficult" North Pole without help. And females remain a minority.
01
01
One hundred years later we will celebrate Scott and Amundsen with the biggest Antarctica season yet. In order to fairly compare the various challenges, here a recap of the traditional rules collected ten years ago from the world's foremost polar explorers and applied by AdventureStats.
01
01
Roz Savage has reached Mauritius after five months in the Indian Ocean. She claims to have rowed the Indian Ocean, and to be the first woman to row across the “Big Three” oceans of the world. But what are the rules?
01
01
In the big picture some believe that South Korea is the next boom economy and judging from their climbers the country sure seems hungry for the top. With Young-Seok Park (48) at the helm, Koreans are once again making big waves in Himalaya this fall and here go some stats on the occasion.
01
01
The world's climbing community has lost its ultimate reference for excellence: Walter Bonatti passed away yesterday night at the age of 81.
01
01
"Summiting K2 with a small group of friends, through the peak's wild side, and without supplementary oxygen is almost as beautiful as it gets," writes ExWeb founder Tina Sjogren about Gerlinde's success closing the dramatic and decade-long quest for the first female fourteen 8000ers.
01
01
Climbers currently pushing for K2 summit via the Cesen route are in C2. Others are returning to Islamabad from recent climbs elsewhere in Karakoram. Here goes a preliminary summit wrap compiled by Rodrigo Granzotto Peron, illustrated by fresh images from the Alpine Club of Pakistan shot by Karrar Haidri.

Youngest, oldest, first and last. Remembering the past Himalaya spring season, the interesting along with the sad, following yesterday's Pakistan winter report here's more from Himalaya statistician Rodrigo Granzotto Peron.
