More Aerobic Canadian Feats
These are the links that I've found dealing with speed climbing. Let me know if you know of any others.
| Hans Florine's Speed Climbing Site | Hans' site was the original speed climbing site and it lists mainly Yosemite records, but also some other California records. It is a comprehensive list of El Capitan speed records among other things. Lots of other inspirational stuff here. |

Will Gadd's Canadian Speed Feats. |
| La Sportiva Speed Climbing | This sites doesn't currently have much information on speed climbing and its records are not the fastest known times either. |
|
Cameron Peterson's site for entering your own speed records on Utah and Teton trails and mountains. |
| Sky Running | This is the official site of the Federation for Sport at Altitude and its members include some of the fastest mountain runners in the world. They have records on mostly non-technical mountains, but have some amazing times for ascents such as the Matterhorn. The mountains included are mostly in the Alps, other continents are listed as well. |
| Ted Keizer's Site | All the statistics you could ever want for Ted's record breaking run on the Colorado 14ers, and other mountain marathons, including three back east in one summer. |
| Racing Underground | This page shows a number of Colorado 14er records. |
| Andrew Hamilton | His page for attempting the self-powered Colorado 14ers. It didn't happen on the first try, but he trying again right now (July 2003). |
| Mountain Zone | This site sometimes has articles about speed ascents, like this one up Everest. |
| Why You Need Speed | Article by Hans Florine. |

A site on Russian speed climbing competitions and more. |

Rock and Ice occasionally have articles on speed climbing and their new "Ask the Experts" section has good tips for moving efficiently. |
| Mountain Speed Climbing | A site founded by Dan Howitt on mountain speed records, but not run by him any longer. This site emphasises official third-party timing. I don't think speed climbing has evolved far enough for this to be necessary, but opinions differ on this topic, especially in the northwest. It's still a fringe thing and traditionally the word of the climbing has always been good enough. Well, at least most of the time. |
