Deep Shah paddled uphill for a distance of 4,424 meters in record 6.13 hours.
Surat: A 20-year-old cyclist took up Everesting challenge on the famous Wilson Hill in Valsad’s Dharampur taluka last Sunday and paddled uphill for a distance of 4,424 meters in record 6.13 hours.
Deep Shah, who is pursuing his business finance in Canada, paddled up the hill 20 times making his way in the ‘Hall of Fame’ of world Everesting challenge.
With this achievement, Deep has become the first cyclist from Gujarat to complete the half-everesting challenge and now he is planning for the full challenge of 8,848 meters.
“I zeroed in on Wilson Hill because it is the Everest of South Gujarat for the cyclists. The hill is about 300-odd metres high, which meant I had to climb more than 20 times to reach my goal,” said Deep, who had returned to Surat during coronavirus pandemic.
