Nef-
His school-year have produced some insane mountaineers. The product of being bored kids in the mountains I guess.
I do enjoy this short video of his Matterhorn record. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQnt2kKMsGw
His run from Zermatt to Saas Fee is epic. Takes mortals about 4 days normally!

A climber friend of mine just set a new record for lowest point in Switzerland to the highest point. Lake Maggiore (~150m)to the summit of Dufour (4634m) by road bike and foot in 8 hr 10m.

Last time I saw Andy I was schlepping my way up a steep snow slope under the east face of the Matterhorn remarking how I hadn't seen a single person for about four hours and he literally fell from the sky wearing a parachute and skis. He'd jumped off the Breithorn ridge about 1,000m above and 5,000m away. Utter nutter.
