PICTURED: West Bromwich Albion fan on top of the world
Intrepid West Brom fan Christopher Morrall has boing boinged his way to the top of one of the world's highest peaks.
The 32-year-old from Kidderminster, has been travelling around South America visiting Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.
It was during a visit to Ecuador that he climbed Ecuador's highest mountain Chimborazo, standing at 20,702ft (6310 metres), last month.
And the Baggies fan decided to show his allegiance to Tony Pulis' team by pulling out his blue and white shirt as he reached the summit.
He said: "I quickly grabbed my Albion shirt which I had taken with me in the event that I made the summit and held it up and then put it on over five layers of clothes.
"I believe this to be the highest point any West Bromwich Albion shirt has ever been in the world and certainly the closest to the sun."
Mr Morrall had been out travelling through South America for the past 10 months and he struck upon the idea for the climb.
He battled temperatures of -20C (-4F) as he scaled the heights of the peak which is sacred to the Ecuadorians, who refer to the mountain as the 'Woman in Ice'.
"People tried to discourage me from climbing the mountain but on January 24 I returned to the mountain for acclimatisation," he said.
He said: "I had to watch carefully where I placed my feet as large crevices would appear from nowhere with no bottom in sight."
"The route down was almost as challenging and dangerous as the route up, with an urgency to be off the mountain by 9am to 10am to avoid the risk of avalanche and rock fall.
"It was a fantastic and rewarding feeling to have made the climb successfully and to have made it back safely
