While her bid to become the first Irish woman at the top might be a bit biased toward PPCs (HP Ireland is a sponsor) It's nice to know that, geographically, our PPCs are on top!

What I find amazing is that the device can stand the temperatures! Very cool! Someone should send her an email to find out what apps she's using on the device... :D

There's huge potential here for one of the Sportsdo (http://www.sportsdo.info/) products. Pity there's no Climbdo (yet). :D
