A school worker has scaled the tallest peak in the UK seven times in just over 21 hours
Javi Cabrera Valdes achieved the feat at 4413ft Ben Nevis – beating the record of seven times in 22 hours, 43 minutes.
Javi, 40, also holds the record for the fastest climb and descent of the 8501ft Pico Almanzor summit in his homeland of Spain. Javi said: “My fastest Ben Nevis race time is one hour 50 minutes, and I have run down the Ben in a horrible state in about one hour, limping and very sore. I reckoned I could, on average, climb up in two hours and get down in one hour – so 24 hours divided by three equalled eight times up and down.
