Everesting is a mountain climbing challenge that requires riders to climb a single hill continuously, unlike other challenges. To achieve the same elevation as Mount Everest, the rider must climb and descend the same hill. This activity is called vEveresting and is performed via the virtual reality platform Zwift.
Hells 500 introduced the Everesting Challenge. A group of adventure-lovers came up with the idea to create an endurance event. Lachlan Morton, a member of EF Pro Cycling Team, was one of the group's riders. He was able to complete an Everesting Ride in 7 Hours and holds the record for the fastest Everesting Ride. He also holds the record of the fastest Everesting ride on an FSA/Vision-equipped Cannondale SuperSix disc, and the fastest ride ever on Metron40 disc brake wheels.
It has become popular among cyclists and other athletes. It is safer because there are fewer vehicles involved and the weight can be carried in shorter segments. Some riders choose to use the Everesting Challenge for an endurance race. Others have chosen to run their attempt on a treadmill. Some have done their run on an at home route during a quarantine period.
Nima Javaheri set a new Everesting record in March 2022. He completed an elevation of 38,703m on La Croisette in France. He maintained a weighted power average of 260 watts during his run. This is equivalent to a marathon. He also completed the longest "free vertical ascent" of any Everesting rider.
Everesting, while it might seem like an impossible challenge, is actually very easy. Zwift allows you to create your own Everesting virtual ride, or you can simply ride your favorite hill from home. You can then track your achievements on Strava and other GPS tracking devices. You can also do an Everesting on your trainer or on a gravel road.
The Everesting Challenge also known as vEveresting (or vEveresting), is a rare individual endurance race. It was inspired originally by the COVID19 global pandemic. There are fewer than 9,000 people worldwide who have ever done an Everesting attempt. The official Everesting website displays all achievements of Everesting participants. The official Mount Everest challenge records are also available on the site, as is an Everesting Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame includes the names of the first Everesters, most well-known Everesters, the longest successful Everestings, and the shortest Everestings.
George Mallory was the great-grandson of a British explorer and one of the first everesting attempts. Mallory completed an Everesting with a bicycle. He reached 8,848 meters, which is the equivalent height of the world's highest peak. Mallory returned to safety in 1995. Mallory also cycled Mount Donna Buang in Australia's Mount Everest range and held the record of the fastest Everesting ride.
Another Everesting can be done online on Zwift, or with your trainer. For those who want to participate in a physical Everesting, there are many mountains to choose from throughout the Hudson Valley.
