Mattew Storm breaks many traditional mountaineering "rules" but this is the secret to his success. The majority of his summits are completed going solo and starting late in the day. He would be on the summit at sunset then climb/hike down at night. This strategy helped him completed a remarkable 57 summits in 2025 (180 points) and 44 summits (127 points) in 2024 and earn the top-ranking climber in these two Challenges.
