Except for extreme unicyclist Steve Colligan... who intends to do just that to get into the record books.
The father of two will have to overcome 5,000m (16,400ft) mountains, minus 15°C temperatures and negotiate the world's largest downhill ride, all on one wheel.
His 1,000km (600-mile) ride across the roof of the world will take him along the backbone of the Himalayas from Lhasa in Tibet to Kathmandu in Nepal, via Everest base camp."

I read about this guy in the paper earlier today. He's a unicycling inspiration!
The amount of famous mountains he's unicycled over is quite astounding, you can check out his progress or just find out a bit more about him at the ingeniously titled unicyclesteve.com.

Good point kidney. I'd definitely be more impressed if he swam the channel on his unicycle.

There has to be an easier way for this man to get his 15 minutes of fame.
