Race Information
Conquer the Climb, Change Lives. Climbing for Change is the first-ever "everesting"-style event of its kind--one that seeks to push physical limits not only for personal pride, but also for social change. Over the course of 24 hours, participants attempt to climb the equivalent elevation of a famous mountain--on a ski hill. Participation is free, and all funds raised go to local charities carrying out critical work in the community.
