An Everest is a challenge in which you must climb 29028 feet ( the height of Mt Everest) doing repeats on the same hill over an over. It is one of the toughest challenges in cycling.
The concept of Everesting is fiendishly simple: Pick any hill, anywhere in the world and complete repeats of it in a single activity until you climb 8,848m – the equivalent height of Mt Everest.
I am a terrible climber but this challenge intriques me and it would be fun to have a group attempt it together and have others to crew and cheer the group on.
It could be on Skyline drive and be a great social event for everyone and a chance for cyclist to push the limits and join the club of cyclist that have completed it.
Typical attempts take around 24 hours.
Any interest? It could be planned for the Spring and make it a club event to be remembered. There is also a Basecamp challange which is half of the Everest.
Let me know what you think!
