There was a swede but I can't remember his name. And this guy sailed a
21 foot boat that he built himself to india. Then he took out of the
boat a bicycle, rode the bicycle to the foot of Everest (I may have the
mountain wrong but it was a significant one) and climbed it solo.

following up my own post. I did remember wrong. He used no boat but
rather bicycled from Stockholm to Katmandhu and then climbed Everest.
His name was Goran Kropp and he died a few years ago climbing in
Washington State.
