Have official judges oversee a sport called "alpine speed climbing" so all the disgusting fraud doesn't happen. Like what's happened on Everest with the two purely dishonest Sherpa who have shocked those interested; one was jailed for months for his recent involvement in a kidnapping crime. In the US a pure fraud Chad Kellogg was caught with an abundance of proof. On the great Mt. Mckinley he played two friends off one another to contrive a fradulent time. The friends later admited they timed nothing and only took his word for it and then reported his own self-reported times to the press. Each thought the other was doing the official timing. He deceived them in this way. Worse is these were the basecamp managers at the time Lisa Roderick and Mark Westman. Little did the press know that they were good friends of his. Lisa and Mark made this fact clear when the investigation began. He also did two depressingly fradulent record-claims on Rainier in 1998 and 2004.Christian Stangl claims great speed records on Everest and Elbrus but refuses to have timers, many summit photos show none of the summit, he fully agreed to do the Elbrus Race this year but at the last minute cancelled.

Official judges would help to avoid this. Many people embrace these bogus reports not knowing what is happening.Kellogg has corrupt political support from people high up like lead Rainier Ranger Mike Gauthier a proven fraud himself with many purely bogus Rainier claims, and, a known good friend of his. Influences in the press like dishonest Skip Card of the Tacoma News Tribune.
Why not? Sounds like you are motivated. Take the lead and submit your idea to the sport. I doubt you will find much interest from the general public though. I consider myself "well read" but have to say this is the first I heard of much of what you are talking about.
