Everesting - Garie Beach Hill - Saturday, 28 May 2016
Posted: 06 May 2016, 11:11
Are you ready for the ultimate climbing challenge?
The concept is simple. Pick any climb, anywhere in the world. And ride up it, again and again, until you've racked up 8,848m of vertical elevation. In one single ride. No time restriction. No distance requirement. No sleep allowed
More information can be found here: http://www.everesting.cc
DHBC is hosting this for the very first time
And we've chosen Garie Beach Hill. The climb is ~200m of vertical elevation, has a fairly consistent gradient (~7.3%), few cars, and there is water, toilets, a kiosk and parking for support vehicles down the bottom
In fact, the picnic area down the bottom is one of the most majestic spots in the Royal National Park. So we're hoping to make a day of it. A couple of club members have offered to bring BBQ equipment, eskys, picnic food etc for the riders and others
And we'd be delighted if as many of our club mates as possible (and their friends and families) could participate in some way or another - whether as a rider (for some or all), spectator or supporter
As a rider, you don't have to be a great climber. In fact, you can choose your own challenge. For example:
• Table Mountain (1,085m) - 6 repeats
• Kosciuszko (2,228m) - 12 repeats
• Olympus (2,918m) - 15 repeats
• Fuji (3,776m) - 19 repeats
• Matterhorn (4,478m) - 23 repeats
• Mont Blanc (4,810m) - 25 repeats
• Kilimanjaro (5,895m) - 30 repeats
• Aconcagua (6,962m) - 35 repeats
• Everest (8,848m) - 45 repeats
The riders who'll be making the most ambitious attempts will start (very) early. But you can really come along whenever, and participate for as little or as long as, you want
We look forward to your support, and hope to see you there
