MM: Everest in Shorts

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I'm going to make up for it this week. Today we're starting a couple of new features for the New Man Report: Manly Men and Random & Enjoyable.

Manly Men will look at men in the news who are acting particularly manly, which means they could be doing something that takes courage and integrity or is just stupidly macho. Today's Manly Man falls into the latter category. He's the man who could out-Eldredge even John Eldredge: Wim Hof, the Dutch Iceman!

This crazy Netherlander is planning on tackling Everest wearing just boots, shorts, gloves and a cap (check out the full story here). What kind of idiot would risk death to climb the world's tallest peak in his skivvies you ask? This kind of idiot.

The Iceman is ridiculous. He recently ran 13 miles barefoot above the Arctic circle in Finland. He claims he can resist frostbite. He makes rugby players look like Care Bears. Plus, his name is Wim Hof. Needless to say, the New Man staff loves him.
