Talented hard enduro riders are extremely engaging to watch, whether it’s a style of riding you personally do, or not. They’re not too dissimilar from mountaineers in that way. Even if you don’t necessarily do the same sport they’re doing, it’s still cool to see someone accomplish it. What if you’re a talented hard enduro rider, and you spend your time trying to achieve a new world altitude record up a mountain on your bike? Then, you just might be Pol Tarrés.
We’ve seen Tarrés perform some magical, gravity-defying feats before, and on more than one occasion. What’s he up to this time? Oh, nothing much, just attempting to ride his Yamaha Ténéré 700 up to the peak of Cerro Mercedario, approximately 7,000-ish meters above sea level. No, we’re not kidding—as you’ll see in this video.
