  1. 0:44 not arbitrary. It’s based on a very storied history from an ancient competition called Stadion. Initially run the length of the original structure post to post marking. As a collegiate sprinter this triggered me lol they didn’t just pull it from thin air. And it’s colonial thinking to suggest native peoples always had the idea to mark something as “first” akin to Columbus “discovering” America “first”. From the POV of someone not interested in climbing, it’s utterly arbitrary to be the first to climb something that is actively trying to kill you. In fact; some would call it pretty dumb given the cost and the prize you receive for a successful summit. Atleast Bolt got money lol
