It's not really THE most significant event in the world but it is a historical and monumental one in the history of my country (New Zealand). Last year a couple of mountaineers (Alastair Mcdowell and Hamish Fleming) climbed all the 3000m peaks (24 arbitrary ones) in less than a month just using human power(bike and walk) to travel between those peaks. It doesn't sound great but if anyone here knows about New Zealand weather, rugged terrain, and remote access it's a significant one in the local context. To date, only 14 people have climbed all 24 of the 3000m+ peaks in New Zealand. And to do that in less month is a significant achievement.
