Speed Record by athlete Andy Steindl: Lago Maggiore to Dufourspitze | Behind the scenes | DYNAFIT

Lake to summit: 8 hours and 10 minutes from Switzerland's lowest point to the highest and a new speed record for our DYNAFIT athlete Andy Steindl.
Pushing the limits with a new speed record: a project "by fair means" - without any external support the Swiss DYNAFIT athlete Andy Steindl made it from Lago Maggiore (193m) to Dufourspitze (4634m) in just 8 hours 10 minutes and 41 seconds and beat the existing record by 4 hours and 46 minutes. With a start at 23:13 at night Andy cycled, run and climbed the technically demanding and long route of 98 kilometers and 4795 elevation meters all the way to a new record.
Look behind the scenes and follow Andy on his adventure!

This guy is the definition of intersports, his achievements, I saw others videos with him, are beyond words...

Amazing accomplishment! When he talked about 10 hours I didn't believed it's doable

An impressive athletic achievement - no question about that! But from my (alpinistic) point of view I think it's rather weak to mention the "other swiss guy who did the same before" in one sentence only and that's about it. Alpinism is not only (or at least it shouldn't be only!) about athletic achievements but it's also (and in my opinon even more importantly!) about being creative. The creative work for this (really cool and inspiring!) project had been done by this "other swiss guy" two years ago. So it should be mandatory (at least from my moral standpoint) to at least name the "other swiss guy". In addition to that a little "thank you for this great idea that got me really motivated to try it myself!" wouldn't hurt either... Talking about the athletic achievement alone it might also be relevant to mention that Nicolas Hojac ("other swiss guy") did the climb with a noticeable heavier backpack cause he had to carry his paragliding wing with him (at least 2,5kg or around 6 pounds). That being said he (Nicolas Hojac) did the bicycle part without the backpack - Andreas Steindl took his backpack with him the whole time. That's also worth mentioning - at least in the elite world of sponsored Pro-Alpinists, cause besides athleticism and creativity honesty is another virtue of alpinism (or at least it should be!). kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3KTc3aOrLuFd6s

[@Spaeckli]

[@petolon68]

Je l'admire et en même temps, ça me fait peur tous ses exploits qui vont toujours plus loin. Il a l'air trop sympa et gentil en plus... J'aimerais bien pouvoir le rencontrer un jour !

[@cpm4317]

Impressive!! Where did you go down? :D

[@dynafit]

Andy went down to Zermatt via the Monte Rosa hut by foot. This was not part of the project anymore though. All the best from your DYNAFIT team! #speedup

@@dynafit he took the shortest way home 😂 by the way, I'd love you have a program for supporting amateur athletes. Probably commercially not attractive but we have loads of people out there working a normal life job, having a family and still do amazing things "on their scale". In my view this deservers "credits" too...

[@dynafit]
