She reached her goal in just 18 minutes.”I can’t believe I just did that, it’s so crazy,” she said afterwards. “It was me against myself, so I did what was necessary to get there.”The two-time world obstacle course champion trained for a year before attempting the climb. Her record has not yet been validated by Guinness World Records, but she said this did not take away from her accomplishment. The current men’s record for rope climbing, held by South African Thomas Van Tonder, is 110m. The women’s record, held by Ida Mathilde from Denmark, is 26m.SubsectionEuropePublished10 minutes agoShareclose panelShare pageCopy linkAbout sharingRead descriptionExplore moreRope climber attempts world record at Eiffel Tower.
