YouTuber Inoxtag has started his ascent of Everest. Aged 22, the man who knew nothing about mountaineering just a year ago took the plunge.

Only 4,000 people in the world have succeeded in, compared to 11,000 who have attempted it. The YouTuber and his guide had already climbed Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, but also peaks of the Himalayas, because the permit is only issued to people who can attest to having already climbed a summit of more than 7000 m.
