Professional wrestler Darby Allin has made history once again, but this time it’s not inside the wrestling ring. The AEW star has set a new world record with his daring climb to the summit of Mount Everest, becoming the first person to complete the ascent in a record-breaking time.
Allin, known for his death-defying stunts and high-flying wrestling style, took on the ultimate physical challenge when he set his sights on Everest. Despite his background in the ring, the climb posed an entirely different set of dangers — from extreme altitude to freezing temperatures and treacherous terrain. Yet, with determination and grit, Allin completed the ascent in just under 19 hours, breaking the previous record by nearly two hours.
“I’ve always loved pushing my limits, whether in the ring or in life,” Allin said in a statement after reaching the summit. “Climbing Everest is one of the most extreme things I’ve ever done, but it felt like a natural challenge to take on.”
The journey was not without its difficulties. Allin faced exhaustion, altitude sickness, and the harsh conditions of the Himalayas, but his resilience kept him going. Throughout his climb, he was accompanied by a team of expert mountaineers who helped ensure his safety.
The record-breaking climb was a personal achievement for Allin, who said it was a tribute to his fans and the spirit of pushing boundaries. “This climb was about proving that anything is possible if you put your mind to it,” he shared.
The wrestling world, and beyond, have been quick to congratulate the athlete on his remarkable feat. Fellow wrestlers, fans, and outdoor enthusiasts alike have flooded social media with messages of admiration, with many noting how Allin’s spirit of perseverance mirrors the same relentless drive he shows in the ring.
As the world celebrates his new world record, it’s clear that Darby Allin’s journey is far from over. Whether in the ring or on the tallest mountain on Earth, this is just another chapter in the life of a true adventurer.
