I cannot express how bonkers it is that someone did the Grouse Grind (a popular hiking trail up Grouse Mountain just outside Vancouver) 19 times in 19 hours!!

I joggeed/ran/hiked it just once, in my absolute prime physical condition at the age of 23 in about 1hr 15min I think. It was really REALLY hard. Nearly puked at the top.

19 times is absolutely nuts.

Fleeing from war,
crossing deserts and oceans
and jumping through hoops for authorities
is still worlds hardest triathlon,
but there is no fame and no sponsorship at the goal.

87 to 114 Francs. That's what a free fall costs in Interlaken before ropes catch you against the canyon walls. This isn't normal bungee jumping, it's a #CanyonSwing. I always wonder what drives people to voluntarily drop into a rocky gorge. Have you ever swung through a canyon on a rope, or is this absolutely not for you? The exact technical differences from a bungee jump are in the article:
