The guy is incredible. After his exploits on Everest during the infamous bad season, I picked up David Brashears' book 'High Exposure' which chronicled just how strong a climber Ed is. From the movie 'Everest', I remember his wife Paula saying that they would go out on a 4 hour mtb ride, and she would consider it a workout, and he would consider that a warmup.
PS: If Ed is Superman, what is Reinhold Messner?
