There's a lot of different ways to celebrate those milestone birthdays and for climber Sean Villanueva O'Driscoll, soloing Patagonia's formidable Fitz Roy traverse was the best way he could think of. Several days after turning 40, O'Driscoll completed the traverse, although unlike it's previous ascent by Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold, he did it in reverse. While the route itself is only four miles, it gains 13,000 feet of elevation and spans across the six peaks of the Cerro Fitz Roy. O'Driscoll was congratulated by fellow climbers like Colin Haley following his impressive feat.
O'Driscoll's career has led him to climbing several impressive objectives in locations such as Patagonia, Pakistan, and Greenland. While O'Driscoll himself hasn't released much about the ascent, it was shared that he spent his birthday traverse with just a penny whistle, a rope, and some cake. O'Driscoll, you've impressed us. Oh, and happy birthday!

In recent years, more and more one hundred-plus foot waterfalls are being run. Aniol Serassoles and Edward Muggridge made history with their descent of 100-foot Ram Falls.
