It is no secret that the higher up you go, the more difficult it gets to walk and breathe. But a recent video of a man has emerged that shows that he seemingly took this challenge to another level. Walking along the steps of Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in Borneo and Malaysia, one climber tackled its inclines, but with a self-inflicted enhancement of adversities.
Leaving the viewers in shock, the audacious climbing enthusiast had attached a large container to his behind, which effectively added to his obstacles during the ascent. This added mass demanded extra physical prowess, making it far more treacherous for the individual. Nonetheless, the climber in the video continued his efforts, igniting passionate acknowledgment from TikTok users.
