EVERESTING

Everesting is a test between an individual and a mountain. Participants climb a mountain course at 29029 events held at ski resorts during the summer months. The challenge is to climb the course, take a gondola down, and do it again and again attempting to climb an aggregate of 29,029 ft. – the height of Mt. Everest. Participants have 36 hours to attain this goal, which results in 3 nights of community, 36 hours of adventure, and 1 story to tell for the rest of your life. - 29029

29029 Everesting stages its fourth event of the 2024 season in Whistler, BC beginning August 22nd. It is the fourth of six events, following Everesting in Sun Valley, Idaho, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Snowbasin, Utah. The final two Everesting events take place in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, and Stratton, VT.

EVERESTING in Whistler, BC

Whistler is consistently ranked the #1 ski resort in North America and this event will show you why. Gaining almost 4,000 feet of vert per hike, this is the longest ascent of the 29029 mountains, meaning just 8 ascents are needed. Ascend through breathtaking old-growth coastal rainforest terrain to emerge on top of one of the most iconic mountains on the continent.
The Blackcomb Ascent Trails are three interconnected hiking trails that wander through breathtaking old growth coastal rainforest terrain on singletrack trails. This route includes scenic forested sections that cross bridges over small creeks while also hiking up ski hills from Whistler’s valley bottom to the alpine on Blackcomb Mountain. The trail is 3.9-miles long and gains of 3,900 ft. Climbers will try to climb the course 8 times to attain 'Everest' and the 'Red Hat'.

The Seven Summits

The event replicates the Seven Summits - the highest peak on each of the seven continents. Participants strive to climb the altitude of each of the Seven Summits. While there is no ‘First-Place’ distinction, climbers receive a medal commemorating the highest mountain they climbed.
