Climb the Equivalent of
MOUNT EVEREST

​= 29,029 vertical feet in 29 days
Picture
Mount Everest is Earth's highest mountain above sea level, located in the Mahalangur Himal sub-range of the Himalayas. The China–Nepal border runs across its summit point. The current official elevation of 8,848 m (29,029 ft), recognized by China and Nepal, was established by a 1955 Indian survey and subsequently confirmed by a Chinese survey in 1975.For the purposes of this challenge, Everest is considered a 29,029 ft vertical.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Everest
Climbing Up!  With Vertical Rise
EVEREST = 29,029 ft
Walk or Run
Hilly roads and trails near you... 
ie) Go up (and down) a road with 250 ft vertical 4x per day =
 1,000 ft rise
 x 29 days = EVEREST

Hike

ie) Mount Marcy in the Adirondacks is a 3,166 ft ascent
Hike 9x over the course of 29 days = EVEREST
Bike
​Hilly roads and trails... Or have a Peloton?
Ride 1,000 ft vertical x 29 days = EVEREST

​Try it on Stairs
One flight of stairs typically equals a 10-12 foot vertical rise*.
​Climb your staircase 100x per day x 29 days = EVEREST
*measure height of steps x # of steps for exact vertical!
​"Climbing" Without a Vertical Rise
Walk or run approximately 145 miles in 29 days = EVEREST
(Approximately 5 miles per day)
Bike approximately 380 miles in 29 days 
= EVEREST
(Approximately 13 miles per day)
