What is “everesting?”

The concept of “Everesting”—climbing/running local mountains until the equivalent elevation of Mount Everest has been achieved—has taken the adventurer community by storm in the last few years. Everesting challenges all over the world promise unforgettable experiences as runners push their physical and mental boundaries to achieve this momentous feat.

Climbing for Change is the first “everesting”-style event of its kind—one that seeks to push physical limits not solely for personal PRIDE, but also for social change.

Our vision is that Climbing for Change WILL ONE DAY BECOME AN ANNUAL EVENT TAKING PLACE IN MULTIPLE CITIES ACROSS CANADA.
