Trust us, you won’t be able to resist the pull of the remarkable surroundings as we unveil a truly exceptional and thrilling NEW event at the historic Granite Peak Ski Resort. And guess what? It’s nestled right within the jaw-dropping Rib Mountain State Park. Get ready to have your breath taken away by the stunning scenery and the invigorating atmosphere that awaits you.

Now, let’s talk about what makes this event truly special. We’ve designed it with one goal in mind: to provide a safe opportunity for all you outdoor enthusiasts to conquer not just one, not two, but three of North America’s most renowned peaks. And boy, do they hold some serious bragging rights! We’re talkin’ the tallest peak in all of North America, the tallest peak in the lower 48 states, and the tallest peak east of the mighty Mississippi. Yep, these iconic destinations carry a whole lot of significance, and we reckon they’ll resonate with folks from coast to coast.

What is this event all about? What is the concept of “Everesting”? The concept of Everesting is remarkably straightforward: Select any hill, anywhere in the world, and complete repeats of it in a single activity until you reach an elevation gain of 8,848 meters – mirroring the height of Mt. Everest. This principle can be applied to other renowned mountains as well, which is exactly what we aim to do. Here’s the essence of it: Select one of our iconic mountains and challenge yourself to climb its equivalent height within a specific timeframe. Hike up the mountain, enjoy a breathtaking descent on a high-speed chairlift, and repeat the process. It’s a thrilling and unique experience you won’t want to miss!

Denali Hill Climb (34 ascents; 16 hr cutoff)

What makes this race truly special is its ability to provide an authentic “mountain” experience in the Midwest. No need for extensive travel or excessive expenses.
