Andy Salter on Everest "A British mountaineer has climbed the highest peak on every continent in just 288 days, beating the previous record by a significant 300 days.

Andrew Salter, from Knebworth completed the challenge in March when he successfully scaled Aconcagua's 6965 metre peak, on the Argentine and Chilean border.

Aconcagua was the first mountain on his itinerary, but he left it until last when he was incapacitated by pulmonary oedema, acute altitude sickness. Everest was the first mountain he climbed successfully on his quest. It was his first attempt at the world's highest peak."
