Las Vegas man climbs the height of Everest in his own home (Video)

A Las Vegas man has broken an exisiting Guinness World Record with just 23 hours after he walked and run down his stairs at home to become the new fastest person to ascend and descend the height of Mount Everest on stairs.

The man who has been officially recognised is Sean Greasley. He had to climb — and descend a total of 29,031 feet and 5.5 inches on his stairs at home to earn the bragging rights.

The entire event was live streamed on YouTube which he compelted after 22 hourrs, 57 minustes and 2 seconds.

“I decided to break this record because nobody has done this before, not from sea level anyway,” Greasley told Guinness World Records. “I wanted to raise money for suicide prevention, so I figured I would combine these two goals into one major goal. We were nearing the end of COVID-19 and I was having a lot of mental problems and issues, which is why this charity is very close to my heart.”

Greasley added in some of his own rules during the attempt, including never touching the banister while on the stairs, since “you wouldn’t have that on Everest.”
