CLIMB COMPLETED IN RECORD-BREAKING TIME

MP flies the flag for Brum at the top of Everest!

ACTION man MP Al Carns has completed his record breaking mission to get up and down Everest inside a week and proudly waved a Birmingham flag on the summit.

Carns, speaking from Kathmandu Airport yesterday, said he was "incredibly proud and feeling amazing" after the epic adventure.

"It was really tough. We walked pretty much non-stop for 55 hours, all uphill, to get to the top, but we did it."

The Selly Oak MP, 45, said the eerie "moonscape" that unfolded as the team neared the top of the peak was tragically "littered" with the bodies of those who had tried but failed to reach the top or collapsed on the descent.

"It really brought it home that this was the death zone, where there was no room for error or accident," he said.
