Nirmal "Nims" Purja shattered the existing world record by climbing 14 Himalayan mountain peaks in 189 days (Credit: Nirmal ‘Nims’ Purja, Bremont Project Possible)

Though thousands of adventurers have scaled Mount Everest, the highest and most famous of the world's 14 tallest mountains, only 40 climbers have conquered them all. Located in Asia's Himalayan and Karakoram ranges, the "eight-thousanders" each stand over 8,000 meters (26,247 feet) tall, above the so-called "death zone," where the amount of oxygen is insufficient to sustain human life for an extended period.

        I wish I could do that but to be honest I'm horribly scared of many things. Funny moment: I was practicing my flute and I thought my book was gonna attack me! Okay. So I'm not really that scared of things it's just I was scared at that moment and kinda sad but mountains I cannot do! I'm to lazy to even climb a rock climbing wall.
