Canadian man climbs highest mountains on seven continents in 187 days (plus small rant)

Please note that he climbed Carstensz Pyramid (16,023 feet) in New Guinea, which is the high point of Oceania, which includes Australia. It's thought to be the toughest of the seven. If you got to the top of Kosciusko (sp?) in Australia rather than this one, like Dick Bass did, then sorry, you haven't completed the Seven Summits.

All told, I think this guy made one hell of an achievement.
