KATHMANDU (AFP) - A Dutch daredevil is to tackle the world's highest peak wearing just boots, shorts, gloves and a cap, the expedition leader told AFP Wednesday.

Wim Hof, known as the "Iceman," holds nine endurance records and recently ran 21 kilometres (13 miles) barefoot above the Arctic circle in Finland.

Hof claims to have special abilities to withstand freezing temperatures.

His website innerfire.nl shows him cross-legged and semi-naked, meditating on ice.

"He will not climb all the way in shorts, only in sections, but we plan to set many new world records," said expedition leader Werner de Jong by telephone from the Netherlands.

Only Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris can do such a feat!
 
I think it's 1 in 5 or 1 in 4 that die when they climb Everest. This guy will die if he's going to the summit.
 
****ing dead. Either that or he comes back a talking torso after making it halfway up.
 
Wtf, he'll probably put his eskimo coat on or whatever a quarter of the way up.. get to the top.. take it off then record a piece to camera with no clothes on so he can say he decided to go a bit further and walk up butt neked.

Then for winning at being stupid he receives bacon from a new vending machine they recently installed at the top.
 
man to cross sahara desert in winter clothes....
 
There are sherpas that can climb Everest in under 10 hours. I am sure that they are pumping blood pretty fast and going all out at that speed so they could probably do it with some long shorts, a t-shirt, gloves and a toque. Maybe some long socks too, and some of that fur lined underwear your hear about

He says he's only going to wear warm clothing when he rests...which might be every 2 minutes? :p

Fur lined underwear? Man that's like the opposite of mine; today I made yet another rear window while changing in one of my pairs.
 
Eh I've seen this guy on TV before. Jumps into ice cold water in the antartic (just in swim trunks) and swims around in it like its a ****ing heated pool. The guy definately does have a high tolerance for cold, but yeah Mount Everest will freeze his ass whether he feels it or not :|
