Darby Allin is used to pushing the boundaries of professional wrestling. Forever chasing an adrenaline rush, Allin continues to blend his penchant for the extreme with impressive in-ring prowess. His latest challenge – climbing Mount Everest – has been well documented in the mainstream media. But never one to be satisfied by even the rarest of feats, Allin thought of a novel way to make his achievement a bit more special.<\/p>\n
An avid skateboarder, the AEW star took his mammoth climb as an opportunity to break a world record. Posted to his Instagram, Allin managed to pull off a kickflip near the summit of the world’s tallest mountain. Deep into his climb, Allin’s lack of trademark features make him almost unrecognizable in the clip. A full black beard and a lack of face paint presented an image of Allin not usually afforded to fans.<\/p>\n
The clip of Allin completing the kickflip was filmed at Everest Camp 2 – just 8,000 feet below the mountain’s summit. During the video, Allin showed his current elevation using a digital watch. Sitting at 20,958 feet above sea level, Allin claimed that he had completed the kickflip with the highest elevation ever.<\/p>\n
Most Mount Everest climbs take around two months and Allin began his ascent at the beginning of March. Therefore, he is expected to finish in June. The length of time is attributed to the acclimatization needed for the low oxygen environment. The video suggests that Allin is in good health and high spirits. A month into the trek and 8,000 feet beneath the summit, Allin is progressing well with his latest feat.<\/p>\n
