The mountains are always on the calling for Elton, his footprints are found on some of the most amazing summits around the world. Elton, though born with poor health, is blessed with a physique that made him highly adapted to high altitude. The effect of altitude sickness starts kicking in at 5,000 metres when the oxygen content in blood drops to around 70% for most people, but Elton's oxygen content remains in the high 90%. Elton didn't rely on his natural gift, he spent more than 10 years training in over 30 summits, ranging from 3,000 to 7,000 metres around the world before embarking on his expedition of the dangerous Manaslu, the 8th highest summit in the world.
