Embark on an extraordinary journey as we take on the challenge of traversing the equivalent height of Mount Everest—8,848 meters—by ascending and descending the majestic Mount Snowdon. This unique project blends adventure, endurance, and camaraderie, pushing us to our physical and mental limits while celebrating the spirit of exploration and determination.
Objective: Complete the equivalent vertical distance of Everest (8,848 meters) by ascending and descending Mount Snowdon.
Total Height of Everest: 8,848 meters
Height of Snowdon: 1,085 meters
Round Trip Distance of Snowdon (Ascent + Descent): 2,170 meters
To match the height of Everest, participants will need to complete:
4 full round trips of Snowdon (4 ascents + 4 descents)
An additional ascent and descent covering 8.08 meters of elevation to reach the total 8,848 meters.
Mount Snowdon, for now, is the chosen summit. Over an entire weekend, we will:
Travel Together: Journey to Snowdon as a united team.
Camp Together: Set up camp and take part in the communal experience of the challenge.
Hike Together: Take on the demanding ascents and descents as a cohesive group.
Eat Together: Refuel and bond over shared meals.
Share Stories: Connect through stories, experiences, and motivations.
Conquer Together: Achieve the equivalent distance of the world's tallest summit, fostering a sense of accomplishment and unity.
Maybe one day, we shall take on Everest for real!?
