WATCH HORST AND GERNOT ON YOUTUBE

Translation from the German:
Gernot: "We want to ascend the seven highest peaks of all continents, from the lowest point to the summit.
Horst: "This is a once in a lifetime project."
Gernot: "We start from sea level and ride with the bikes as far as we can. Then we leave the bikes, put on our climbing attire and from there climb nonstop to the summit."
