Ladder Climbing Record
Talk about some serious training on climbing a ladder - check this out (from NZCity via FireFightingNews.com).
New Zealand firefighters are celebrating climbing the equivalent of more than 12 Mount Everests. The challenge involved 10 volunteers from the Fire Service attempting to break the greatest height climbed on a ladder within 24 hours. They climbed a 10-metre tower at Auckland's Viaduct Harbour repeatedly until they had clocked up 109.59 kilometres.
For those of us that don't use the metric system very often, that is a 32.8 foot ladder totaling over 68 miles of climbing!
