What's gravity like on Mars anyways?

I am pretty sure Fred Beckey climbed there back in the 60's. :)

Gravity is 38% of Earth's. I am pretty sure you will need some O's.

While you are visiting Mars you might as well tick the FA of Olympus Mons, the highest mountain in the solar system at 88,585 feet from the base to the summit.

and over 400 miles in diameter. get hiking.

Doing the Highpoint of the Solar System requires the beta here

Anyone know what kind of pro works in loose, ultrafine dust in low gravity? Maybe some sort of huge deadman?

I heard the Dragon cams do fine.

Forget that, do the first free-solo of Olympus Mons.

I dunno if I could handle the endlessssss moraine on the approaches. Unless, since there are no glaciers, the approaches actually consist of a beach-like sandy surface in an infinitely complex cratered pattern. That would be cool.

The major badass would be the climber to do a first oxygen-free ascent.

Yeah. Great idea, Lee. Are you trying to get someone killed??

Jeez, Mark, if I could tell you how many times that very thing has happened to me....
