You have 36 hours to climb 29029 feet
– the equivalent height of Mt. Everest.

Hike up the mountain, take the gondola down, and repeat.

29029 is for those who want to live fully. Those who believe that challenging things change us and life’s obstacles reveal what you’re really made of. We exist to challenge you so intensely that you evolve into a better version of yourself.

We rent a private mountain and build an all-inclusive participant village with bands, bonfires, food/drink, recovery lounge, and everything else you’ll need. You join a community of like-minded individuals while tackling an epic endurance challenge.

This is a new category of event — equal parts physical, mental, and spiritual. It’s not a race. There are no age group awards or records to break. This is just you versus you. Each step is one step closer to the best version of yourself. Join us!

About
29029 returns to the iconic Sun Valley to kick off the 2023 climbing season! Nestled between Big Wood River and Bald Mountain, America’s first destination ski resort is a summer paradise with epic mountain trails. We’ll be climbing almost 2,000 feet of vert on each ascent up ‘Baldy’ while taking in views of the beautiful Sawtooth Wildness. An ideal location for families with an abundance of activities in nearby Ketchum and the surrounding area. Climbers will be staying in a glamping tent village along the Big Wood River.

Trail Description
The majority of the trail is on ski runs consisting of hard packed dirt, rock, and gravel. From the base, we’ll hike up Lower River to Lower Canyon, and then will access the fire road for a short section, and then Upper Canyon to the top of the Roundhouse Gondola. The defining feature of the climb is a steep pitch near the summit known as ‘The Wall’ that brings out your best.
