Alpinism

In mountaineering circles, it is a particular challenge to climb all 50 “high points” within a certain time frame. By 2018, 273 people had proven to have succeeded. Colin O'Brady of Portland , Oregon , set a new world record that summer of 23 days using various modes of transportation between states. The previous record was 41 days.
