Everesting is straightforward. Pick a hill and repeat the ascend until you gain 8.848+ m positive elevation, in a single activity. Pretty easy, right? Not at Zmeu X-Fest. And definitely not when the “hill” in question carries the name RUNC. With 475+ m elevation gain across 2.25 km, this is an Everesting you’re bound to remember. Your track starts from the center of Câmpulung Moldovenesc in a steady uphill, leading to the base of the RUNC, where the real fun begins.
For your Everesting attempt to be approved, you must:
- Record 8.848+ m of total elevation gain
- Follow the marked route to RUNC peak
- Descend on the marked route from RUNC peak (the same)
- No sleep – you must complete the challenge in a single stint
- Breaks (eating, drinking, recharging) are included in your time
- You must reach the summit every time
- You must descend safely and get back to the basecamp
- Time limit 24h max
Everyone who succeed at least 1 climb will get the FINISHER MEDAL. For 19 climbs you’ll get also the special RUNC Everesting 8.848+ Elite Club trophy.
