hippy
Some do. They're also trying to equalise across an "event", they're not an outright record.
The rules are the rules. Same as RRA records are valued more highly than 'some bloke did something on Strava and claimed some arbitrary "world record" nonsense'
It's why UCI Hour Record riders are now having to go back to Mexico for the lower air density. It's why the first sub-2hr marathon wasn't a world record because of drafting, funky shoes, etc.
The rules for Everesting are clear and anyone disputing his record has no grounds to because it's already been validated and is "the record".
