French athlete sets world record for rope climbing at Eiffel Tower
A French woman has broken the world rope climbing record after reaching the second floor of the Eiffel Tower on Wednesday. Anouk Garnier, 34, climbed 110m in 18 minutes to set a new high and raise money for cancer prevention and support. ‘I can’t believe what I’ve just done, it’s so insane,’ Garnier said ‘I’ve visualised this moment so much, worked so hard for a year to get here that I can’t believe it’s really happened’.

Tres magnifique! Incroyable👏👏👏

In Russia she wouldn’t last 2sec
Hold my paté…
Meanwhile I can barely get myself out of bed 💀
Well done 👍
Wow
😯😯😯😯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
As a boulderer who considers himself hard as nails, this is an amazing feat of endurance
My toxic trait is believing I could beat that. Never mind I saw Magnus Midbo fail after 40 meters. Very impressive record!!
I’m kinda sure that firefighters can do it faster
One of those annoying girls in gym class. 😂
This is what the french do in their free time 😂
Amazing achievement!
Pretty impressive, but nowhere near the record.
The record for 120m is just over 8 minutes for men and 9 for women, regularly competed for.
👏🙂👏
Arno Dorian did it faster
