Hi There, Just wondering before I register am I able to climb Pap Hills 38x instead of Mauao as it is closer to where I live ? Also planning to do Tongariro Crossing on the 23 April to celebrate my 40th birthday so will be climbing well over the required elevation :)

Hi Ian,

That's awesome you've managed to complete 52!

It's a full up and down to make one, I mean when you get to the top you have to get back down somehow so up and back is once.

If you're going up and down the Mount regardless of from where as long as you're making it to the summit and back it counts as one climb.

You can collect your Mount Everest Challenge t-shirt from our office 168 Cameron Road, when you're ready (keeping in mind there was limited sizes and numbers).

Thanks Ian!

Bailey asks

Is it alright if my team of 3 collectively go up 38 times (13 times each) in 24 hours as we are leaving on the 14th of March for Basic training and will be unable to participate after this date?

Thank you
