Crowning achievement: bicycled from Sweden to Nepal, soloing Everest sans sherpas or bottled oxygen in 1996.

Oh, and then biked home again.
132 repaired tires. lol.

That's some hardcore shit right there.

He sounds like he has a touch of the prick in him - but for somebody who's climbed everest without O2, I think I can probably forgive him for that.

Then he fell down a mountain and died.

Wasn't there a blind woman that climbed everest by herself?

I think it's hilarious when mountain climbers die.

A guy I went to college with died climbing the Matterhorn. He was always pushing himself just a little too far. He was around 5'8" and 140 pounds, and played rugby for the school.

There's a scholarship fund in his name now that I donate to every year.

Cheeky little bastard.
