"Other Mantle exploits are unique: including finishing:

The Angeles Chapter Sierra Peaks Section (SPS) list (247 Sierra Nevada peaks) five times (no one else has done this more than once).

The Angeles Chapter Desert Peaks Section (DPS) list (97 desert peaks in California, Nevada, Arizona: Utah, and Mexico) three (almost four) times (no one else has done this more than twice).

The Hundred Peaks List three (one to go for four) times making a triple-triple (no one else has more than once).

On his way he has also climbed the high points of all the western states (the "harder" US high points) and the Mexican volcanoes in the Northern Western Hemisphere Huascaran and Chimborazo in the Southern Western Hemisphere, Kenya in Africa, Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, and others in Europe, Mt. Cook in New Zealand. and such assorted major climbs here and there as the Grand Teton and others in the Tetons, Mount Ararat, etc.

On the next day (February 19) he climbed Kosciusko again, and also went over to Mount Townsend (2209m), Australia's second highest. Thus, he has a start on the second time around for the highest, or the first time around for the second highest, of the continents. Of course, he's well along for the latter, with Africa and South America already out of the way -- but Mt Tyree (16,290 ft: in Antarctica) and K2 are very tough!"

From: http://home.att.net/~bobsumner/Longdays.htm
"Doug has had his fair share of long days in the Sierra. How about a dayhike of Lyell and Maclure from Tuolomne Meadows. That’s 27 miles and 4800’ gain. Not too shabby. Or how about a dayhike of Striped, Goodale, and Cardinal: 18 miles and 10,500’ gain. Impressive. He’s also accomplished some excellent "first days". Consider Jordan and Genevra over Sheperd Pass on the first day of a weekend trip. 18 miles and 8500’ gain. Also Hitchcock, Young, and Hale via Trail Crest Pass on the first day of a weekend trip. I don’t imagine too many people try these last two items. These are mere samples of his long days, and the numbers don’t do justice to the effort required to do them"

Please email any additions you might have to the statistics department.
