29029 Everesting & IronHike Everest

Everesting Two WaysAt IronHike, we celebrate all forms of endurance endeavors and have great respect for the renowned, multi-venued 29029 Everesting Events. As the newcomers in elevation-based endurance Events, we proudly offer a uniquely intense experience with the IronHike Endurance Series, with fewer amenities and creature comforts than the 29029 Everesting Events.
Designed to be a more self-reliant, completely self-powered experience for Mountain Athletes aiming to push their personal limits, IronHike emphasizes shared suffering and Tribe-building. We value resilience, toughness, and camaraderie. IronHike is veteran-owned and community-driven, founded by trail enthusiasts and US Army veterans.
💬 “This is much harder than we thought it would be, we underestimated how hard trekking the downs can be.”
