The Everesting world record broken by a cyclist in Haute-Savoie

Briton Nima Javaheri broke the Everesting world record by bike between Wednesday and Saturday on the Col de la Croisette (Haute-Savoie).

It took him 113 hours to cover 847 km and 40,088 m of ascent, reports

The equivalent of climbing Everest

Everesting can be practiced by bike or on foot.

The sporting discipline consists of making ascents whose cumulative altitude difference corresponds to the altitude of Everest, ie 8,848 m.

You must also descend any distance ascended.

The operation can be performed by climbing several times in the same place.

Nima Javaheri is a particularly well trained sportsman.

This banker living in Geneva (Switzerland) is used to extreme mountain cycling challenges.

In 2021, he thus traveled in 144 hours a journey of 344 km with an altitude difference of 30,000 m by bicycle.
