Chad Kellogg deceives Outdoor Research sponsor to believe no one has ever speed climbed Everest without oxygen. Many have and many have set records without oxygen. http://forums.about.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=9&nav=messages&webtag=ab-climbing&tid=161 also http://forums.about.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ab-climbing&tid=161

To be clear, Chad is attempting a speed record from base camp to the summit and back to base camp. All previous attempts that have been made without oxygen or support have stopped the clock at the summit.

Many have done round-trip ascent-descent speed climbs of Everest. Batard 1988 2000, Stangl 2002, Fabio Meraldi the great Italian skyrunner. And so on. Many sherpas as well without oxygen.

Dear OR Gear: Yes, as you write, "to be clear". However, you are NOT clear in your articles and videos on Chad. You CLEARLY lead the reader to believe he will be doing the ONLY without-oxygen Everest speed climb in history. To be CLEAR, you ought to have written what you do in your comment above, in your articles on Chad. This is what you (his sponsor) and the media, DO. You mislead, embellish, dramatize, at the expense of the CLEAR truth. Outside Blog, above, does the same: "Chad Kellogg ... will attempt to be the first to accomplish a solo speed ascent of Mt. Everest without oxygen." UNTRUE. Many people have done solo speed ASCENTS of Everest without oxygen. Marc Batard in 1988 and 1990, Christian Stangl in 2006, John Reese-Evans in 2002. You're dishonest, negligent, embellishing, and contriving, and biased.

Hi Dan Howitt- Once again, while Chad is off climbing, you are bravely typing away at your keyboard with your twisted, imaginary fantasies. Have you ever met Chad, actually spoken with him in person? How about climbing with him? If you had, you would understand that he's both an honest person and an incredible athlete. He has scores of friends, partners, and associates who will readily vouch for his character. You are a lone voice in the wilderness speaking from breathtaking ignorance, not to mention one who is clearly gripped by an unhealthy obsession. How many years have you been stalking him now? Also, how about using your name, Mr. "7Summits", when posting these accusations, instead of hiding behind anonymity on the internet, you raving coward! Everyone knows who you are, you might as well use your name. You need to grow up and get a life.

CHAD KELLOGG deceives media twice, already, prior to Everest speed climb attempt in a few weeks. Media responds! GPS company responds!

I nominate Dan Howitt to sit on top of Everest and wait for Chad and serve as his summit verifier. Without oxygen. Dan's mental state after a few hours in the stratosphere should be substantially clearer than it currently stands! What a nutjob, but you sure are entertaining!

Chad Kellogg's friends do personal attacks! Says a lot about Chad! These are criminals also! They protect fraud with Internet Abuse! This's what his friends do. This is what Chad does. I listened to the Outdoor REsearch audio interview with Fitz and Chad. Chad sounds like a hymning-hawing liar! Trying to hatch lies and contrive statements for money and marketing. Most experts in the sport think Chad is a criminal outrage exploiting the honor code to lie. Team Kilimanjaro, author of Speed Climbing Bill Wright, COlorado's Buzz Burrell, the Kazakhstan Central Army Sports Club, on and on,

Not to mention Chad Kellogg's friends lie. AND do personal attacks. It all goes together. Abusive friends, Internet monsters, fraud climber. Yes he does good climbing. But, he supplements his limited success with climbing with HOAX and FRAUD. A good website on this.

http://mountaineeringfrauds.wordpress.com/2010/04/14/everest-fraud-chad-kellogg/ Too bad Chad is doing this. He'll not get away for long with it.

Nice try. I don't know Chad. But the funniest thing is such accusations against "Chad's friends", coming from a psycho who launches endless personal attacks on Chad Kellogg under cover of anonymity on the internet. Even funnier is that EVERYONE knows who you are, DAN HOWITT. Or even funnier is your continually linking to your own blog as though it is something you discovered, and which serves as a monument to your psychosis-fixation on Chad. You're pathetic, dude.

Dan Howitt and his amazing avatars have set another serial stalking speed record.

Hi Chad: Defending yourself with personal attacks is true to your hoax artistry. For everyone else. Chad is doing Internet website updates from Everest on his website and for Verticulture. Chad please use your time to get secure timing of ONE of your "records". Hire timers. You're a laughing stock and use the HONOR CODE to LIE!!

Chad Kellogg well known world wide Greatest Fraud in mountaineer history. Well know in Russia and Nepal as Great Fraud. No claims of his stand to truth! I do agree with these states...

wow I can't believe this slanderous shite i'm reading about Chad. I have known him for 15 years both as a climbing partner and friend and he is nothing but a first class person and is as honest as the day is long. He is out there doing it, where are you Dan?

Dan, you're such a pathetic coward. You've always been such, but now you're just plain annoying. You aren't fooling anyone except maybe your psychiatrist who should have committed you long ago. Pretty funny how you take a snapshot of your own image- mentally ill, liar, fraud, sick, etc.and try to put that on Chad Kellogg and others. Classic 'transferrance' syndrome. Get some help. Just knock it off.

Hi guys! Chad here, just logging onto the internet from the Hillary Step! Before I finish faking this speed ascent I figured I'd better post an important personal attack on Dan Howitt. I was so distracted thinking about Dan's greatness that I slowed way down as I passed 27,000'. Guess I'll have to take some ambiguous summit photos and unleash my army of Internet criminal abusers to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. Well, thank God we have Dan to keep us all honest and to help us appreciate how lucky we are to be sane! Gotta go, I have to report my doctored split time via email to a few thousand co-conspirators in the climbing community. Oh, and if any of my friends, acquaintances, climbing partners, co workers, or anyone who knows me at all tries to vouch for me- ignore them. I've brainwashed all of them and implanted them with mind control computer chips that make them biased towards me and predisposed to baseless attacks on autistic children from Portland. Climb on!

HAI DAN! YOU SHOULD REALLY STOP WITH THIS CRIMINAL INTERNET SELF-ABUSE BEFORE YOU GO BLIND! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!! b

OH HAI DAN!! HI2U!! IT'S A GOOD THING MY CLIMBING SPEED IS FASTER THAN THIS INTERNET CONNECTION! JUST LOGGING ON FROM THE SOUTH COL TO ABUSE THE INTERNET! I ALMOST FORGOT WHY I WAS UP HERE! KTHXBYE!!!

Pre-Attempt Everest Deception 2010, Spot GPS Company Replies Chad Kellogg claims he will use SPOT gps to time-verify his Everest speed-climb attempt. 5th paragraph http://www.outdoorindustry.org/news.industry.php?newsId=12241 Also: www.outdoorresearchverticulture.com www.humanedgetech.com/expedition/kellogg/ Below reply from the SPOT gps company. 1- As the SPOT company states below, the until has never been tested above 21,000' elevation. On Everest, this elevation is only slightly above basecamp at Camp 2 http://www-tc.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/everest/resources/images/elevation.jpeg. Over 8,000' vertical away the summit, and many miles away (about 9-10 miles). Everest summit is 29,028'. 2- Chad claims he will try for a 30 hour time. As the SPOT company states below, the gps tracking needs to be re-initiated every 24 hours. The unit can’t provide continuous timing beyond 24 hours. 3- Please be aware that Chad is a masterful fraud, as established for Denali, Rainier, Aconcagua, and Khan Tengri (below reports). He engages in endless variations of fraud; he finds minute loopholes and exploits them. Please don’t let him do so on Everest. http://mountaineeringfrauds.wordpress.com/ http://forums.about.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ab-climbing&tid=161 On Tue, Apr 13, 2010 at 10:38 AM, customerservice@findmespot.com wrote: Tracking needs to be reinitiated every 24 hours as the cycle only lasts that long.

Chad Kellogg, You can't respond to the high controversies about your criminal activity, dirty politics, white trash friends, mental illness, Factitious Disorder. You're abuse shows this. It must have been traumatic to have Bill Wright, an author of a book on speed climbing, to call your first speed climb, in 1998, on Rainier, "BOGUS", as in print on his website.

Second listing at this page. http://www.wwwright.com/climbing/speed/rainier.htm "This is bogus... I don't consider it the record." This was your first fraud, and you've kept going for 12 years!

Man. This Dan Howitt guy is a complete retard. It's too bad someone with Kellogg's personal reputation and demonstrated skills should be the target of such an idiot.

BESIDES THIS YOU'RE A GREAT CLIMBER AND REALLY NICE GUY. I'M PERPLEXED REALLY.

Predictable. It's SO easy to make you look like a retard, Dan... LMAO!!!!

"Hi Chad, I knew you in the past..." ...but I'll just post anonymously while I question your integrity. Still LMAO. Nice fail, Dan.

Hey Dan, What did you do before there was the internet? Also, you stress that Chad never responds to your accusations. I don't know him personally, but I can't imagine why anyone would bother to respond to someone who behaves the way you do. You've harassed not only him but numerous other people, some of whom I have heard have had to take legal action to get you to stop. Come to think of it...why am I even responding to you in this pathetic thread? Goodbye.

So, your sources are: - a blogger (Kraig Becker- like that is supposed to mean something- anyone can start a blog- even you did, Dan...) who was initially duped by your multiple avatar scam and massive Internet spray into thinking there was a "controversy" about the legitimacy of Chad's claims- only to eventually realize you were a lone psychotic with a serious mental disorder and fixation on Kellogg and speed climbing and deleted most of the garbage with which you polluted his blog with- including the time you used his reporting about Lara Kellogg's death to begin a new round of attacks on Chad, some even suggesting that Chad was trying to use her death to promote his records simply on the basis that news stories reporting the accident had noted who Chad was and for what he was known. Becker recently reported on Chad's Everest climb with a sidenote warning "Kellogg bashers"- by that he meant you alone, Dan Howitt- to keep their (your) comments to yourself as he was tired of hearing about it. Predictably, you went full speed with your usual crap and Becker had to tell you to beat it and get lost. - your other source is a second hand report of a bunch of unnamed, unknown Ukrainian and Kazakstany gym climbers who have never met Chad and are undoubtedly pretty bent that a relatively unknown American came to their mountains and whipped their ass at their own game. - I guess the third source are your tired diatribes and skillful cut and pasted excerpts of other diatribes posted elsewhere by- who else- you! on other websites, usually reader edited sites like topix or "forums.about" where you can enter any allegations you want and don't have to answer to any of it- presto! No accountability! Oh and of course your new blog about fraud, make sure to keep linking us to that, very credible. Outside Magazine, OR, Verticulture, etc. are reputably media and businesses with massive customer bases and deep connections to the sport. That they've chosen to support and cover Chad's efforts is reflection of his reputation as a person and climber. You on the other hand are a small man with a computer and an internet connection. Perhaps you could put this obsession of yours into something useful to society, Dan. This ain't it. Have a nice day. -Matt

In 2009, The Adventure Blog editor, Kraig Becker, commented on Chad Kellogg. Click on images to zoom-in. http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/9149/advblograinierrecord1da3.jpg http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/9594/advblograinierrecord2zn8.jpg From article: " Kellogg's "record" has been called into question for some time, thanks to the lack of photographic evidence, lack of witnesses other than friends who were used to cover the timing and questionable entries into the log books. A number of other climbers have expressed concerns over the legitimacy of Kellogg's claims." "In fact, Dan Howitt, the official record holder on Rainer, has extended a challenge to Kellogg every year since 2003 to recreate his record speed climb, using official timers. Last I heard, the offer was up to $5000 cash for Kellogg to make another go on Rainier, although each year he simply ignores the offers. He doesn't even bother to respond to decline the offer, even when it's made in a gesture for charity. In this latest article, Kellogg is quoted as saying he now has motivation to go for the record again. I guess the whispers about the legitimacy of his first record and the offers of money to recreate it were not enough motivation. He needed a new "unofficial" record to get the fire back in his belly.

IN 2009 THE ADVENTURE BLOG EDITOR, KRAIG BECKER, COMMENTED ON CHAD KELLOGG. CRITICISING HIS LEGITIMACY, HONOR, HONESTY, AND INTEGRITY. MANY MOUNTAINEERS ARE DISHONEST.

FROM MARTIN GUTMAN, WRITER FOR CLIMBING MAGAZINE http://www.climbing.com/exclusive/readerblogs/martin_gutmann/ TITLED-- The "The Kellogg Controversy" http://alpinenotes.blogspot.com/2010/02/the-kellogg-controversy-controversy.html "the Kazakh and Ukrainian dudes at my local climbing gym who wanted to rip my head off when I showed up yesterday for even suggesting that Kellogg was anything but a "crazy American lying dog," all of these attacks have been clocked in complete anonymity. Wow! I feel like I stumbled into a room filled with a bunch of feuding fanatics and now want nothing more than to gingerly back up and shut the door--except I can't because they're all glaring at me with their rabid eyes." "On the other side you've got the Eastern Europeans at my gym (and all of their cohorts on their various online discussion groups) who told me they thought all of Kellogg's climbs...was faked." Yes. Very sad, and sorrowful. It's a sad, depressing matter. It's not an angry matter of hate. It's true fraud, and it's very depressing.

Every one of the comments posted here that present Chad Kellogg in a negative way are made by Dan Howitt. Mr. Howitt was disgraced in the face of the climbing community when he was caught lying about a speed record he reported to have made on Mount Rainier. Since then he has spent a lot of time cyber-stalking Chad Kellogg in what can only be described as a very bizarre fixation. Kellogg is well-known and respected by the international climbing community at large. Howitt, on the other hand, is only known by his plethora of avatars on various climbing forums.

This Dan Howitt? http://www.wwwright.com/climbing/speed/rainier_dispute.htm Sounds like an expert on hoaxes, and now he's moved from the mountains to the couch, Pathetic.

Dan Howitt's expertise at perpetuating hoaxes has run into several snags during his cyber-stalking career. For instance: http://www.explorersweb.com/everest_k2/news.php?id=7627 I recall that for some time this particular embarrassment shut him up. But you can't keep a good, uh, stalker down for long. He returned with a vengeance that can we can only shake our head at. Chad's defenders here, and elsewhere, wouldn't bother if it wasn't for the fact of Howitt's vituperative nature, his ongoing lies and slander. Has Howitt ever actually climbed anything beyond a volcano walk-up? If he'd invested even a fraction of his cyber-stalking energy into becoming an alpinist he would have put up a new route on the south face of Lhotse by now . . . .
