U.K. man climbs Mount Everest from the confines of his own home

Edmund Hillary made history in 1953 when he climbed the summit of Mt. Everest. John Griffin, a man living in England under lockdown with his family, decided to take the feat on himself within the confines of his own home. Jeff Glor reports on the 53-year-old’s more than week-long effort, during which he scaled his home stairs to raise money for U.K. food banks. Source
