Wim Hof: Wearing nothing but shorts on Kilimanjaro's Uhuru Peak??

I just came across the Iceman Wim Hof for the first time - pretty crazy stuff - according to Wikipedia, "In February 2009, Hof reached the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in his shorts within two days. It took him only another two days to climb down."

Hmmm, I've been at the top, wearing 5 layers and was still cold!

Check out Wim Hof's Columbia Sportwear's anti-spokesperson ads for Omni-Heat Electronic outerwear...interesting way of getting a point a cross - it sure got my attention though!

I love the comment "Vim Hof

I love the comment "Vim Hof is a professional. You are not. Do not attempt." Another needless warning. I can't believe he wasn't even wearing boots! I've walked from a hot tub to the back door in the snow without shoes ... once ... and I whined about it.
