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.
