Christophe Profit Soloes American Direct on Petit Dru in 3 Hours

In a feat that shocked the alpine world, French climber Christophe Profit soloed the American Direct on the Petit Dru in just three hours on June 30, 1982. Without ropes or a partner, he used crampons and a magnesium bucket to conquer the 1,000-meter granite face. tbzikra.com

Profit's ascent contrasted sharply with the slow, heavy style of the American expeditions from two decades prior. While teams like Hemming and Robbins took days to establish the route in the 1960s, Profit completed the same extreme line in a fraction of the time.

Hard-hitters, gritty stayers and smart cookies: Kiss’s first Wallabies squad is built in his image

The Queensland-born league winger has never played rugby union but Australia need something different – and his players have been put on notice

Les Kiss has been waiting patiently in the wings since being announced as Joe Schmidt’s successor for the Wallabies top job in April last year. The diminutive Bundaberg-born league winger for the North Sydney Bears has never played rugby union. But he is now the man with the game’s toughest gig: resurrecting the Wallabies from No 8 in the world to win the World Cup in just 15 months time.

Now, as the stardust settles on Schmidt’s final game – a 56-10 shellacking of Italy in Perth on Sunday – the Kiss era has officially begun. A new-look Wallabies squad was unveiled on Thursday by the new head coach and a fresh brains trust charged with leading Australian rugby to the promised land – a World Cup on home soil in 2027.
