The Guinness World Record for the quickest time to climb and descend Mount Everest’s steps was broken by a man from Las Vegas who spent about twenty-three hours walking up and down the stairs of his house.

To match the height of the highest mountain in the world, Sean Greasley had to ascend and descend 29,031 feet and 5.5 inches on his home’s stairs.

After 22 hours, 57 minutes, and 2 seconds, he completed his endeavor, which he livestreamed on YouTube.

“I decided to break this record because nobody has done this before, not from sea level anyway,” Greasley stated to 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.”

During the effort, Greasley added some of his own guidelines, such as not touching the banister when climbing the steps because “you wouldn’t have that on Everest.”
