Everesting, a grueling endurance cycling challenge, involves ascending a height equal to Mount Everest in a single ride. Originally a niche sport five years ago, it gained popularity during the pandemic when top cyclists competed virtually. With over 30,000 attempts logged, the fastest time of 6 hours, 40 minutes, is held by Ronan McLaughlin, though upcoming championships on Mt. Etna pose new challenges with longer routes and elements, potentially leading to extended times for competitors.
Everesting has transformed from a niche pursuit to a competitive challenge, attracting serious cyclists with the upcoming World Championships on Mt Etna.
The first official Everesting World Championship, set to take place on Mt. Etna, marks a significant evolution in the sport from individual attempts to competitive racing.
As advancements in training and fueling have evolved, Everesting has become more approachable, allowing recreational riders the chance to undertake this staggering endurance test.
Riders will face unique challenges on Mt. Etna due to its length and environmental factors, setting the stage for possibly slower records than previous Fastest Everesting times.
