The Everest Challenge

Everest, climbed.

On October 9th, 2026, starting at 6:05 PM, I began riding up from Carl and Cole St up to Twin Peaks on a 54 pound unassisted Lyft bikeshare bike. Over 26 hours later, I made it up for the 55th time, completing 29,300 feet, more than the elevation gain of Mount Everest.
