How to unlock the Mount Everest achievement in Dying Light - Definitive Guide
After finishing the game and all of the side quests I was only at 61%. I figured grappling hook does not count so started to climb up and down a van on the bridge and I've gone up to 64% in 5 minutes. Just jump and hold back on the left stick, it'll take you off the roof of the van as soon as possible.
Like I say its not really a solution, but if its your last achievement or something, why not?
Edit: I have just found a derailed train that is slightly higher on one side, its right in front of the Bright Mountain Tunnel quarantine zone. I was doing this for 6:30 minutes whilst listening to a video and went up 7%. Hope this helps

This achievement is cumulative and will likely be one of the last achievement you unlock. The distance required by this achievement is insanely high relative to how much progress you'll make during a normal playthrough. To put it in perspective, by the time you complete the game and all other achievements, you're lucky to be halfway done with this achievement.
There is unfortunately no quick way to grind this achievement out. The only option is to pick a high building and climb it over and over again. The best way to reduce the grind on this achievement is to play the entire game without using the grappling hook. This can make things more of a struggle, especially when trying to escape sticky situations, but if you make a conscious effort to climb buildings manually instead of using the grappling hook, it'll significantly cut down on the grind you'll be faced with at the end of the game.
This will mostly likely be one of the final trophies that you earn before your Platinum. 8848 meters is a LOT and will take hours to farm, depending on how much you've climbed through your Platinum run. We highly recommend that you avoid using the grapple hook as much as you can. We're aware that it's a great tool, but it will save a lot of time in the long run if you climb everything that you can without it. Climbing just about everything counts towards this trophy, such as: Climbing buildings, over cars, fences etc.
If you have not earned this trophy before you're near the Platinum, then we recommend to climb the middle tower in Old Town. It is the highest building in the city, and this tower is very easy to climb, and easy to get back to as well. As soon as you've reached the top of the building, use the zipline just North of the map to reach the tower across the street. Once you've reached the other side, use the grapple hook to reach the starting point of the tower and continue to climb the tower again. Below is a visual walkthrough of the tower and the route to farm this trophy:
You can check your progress towards this trophy from the Main Menu by going to "Extras", then "Personal Statistics".
