Fast Talker To Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

New York, NY (WFN) -- A woman who is in the top of her field for fast talking is heading to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro starting today (Jul. 1).

Fran Capo -- who holds the Guinness World Record for fastest talker at 603.2 words a minute -- will leave her home in New York to scale the 19,340-foot mountain.

Luckily, Capo won't be alone. Joining her on the Kilimanjaro climb is her 15-year-old son, Spencer, who set the Guinness record for youngest stand-up comedian when he was two.

Mother and son expect to reach the peak on July 9th at 9:00 a.m. Tanzania time.

Then they'll hold the first book signing on the mountain to promote her new book, "Adrenaline Adventures: Dream it. Read it. Do it!" (AuthorHouse) which showcases her adventures like bungee jumping, taking a polar bear plunge and running marathons.

Despite her rep for rap, Capo doesn't expect to be doing any fast talking on the mountain's summit because of the lack of oxygen. Still, she jokes, even if she did try, she'd probably sound like she was speaking like a normal person.
