Two young Kiwis have set themselves the challenge of cycling up Mt Everest in a bid to raise money for charity.
Well, not literally up Mt Everest. Instead, South Island residents Myles Gibson and his buddy Mick have taken on the popular challenge of "Everesting".
That is, to pick a
hill, anywhere in the world and climb it repeatedly until you reach 8848m in a single session – the equivalent height of Mt Everest.
Gibson and Mick have also thrown in an extra degree of difficulty.
Rather than choosing a nice, smooth road to climb, they've decided to go up and down a famous mountain bike track - the McNearly Gnarly jump trail in Queenstown.
