Everesting


Aidan King’s Everesting journey is a testament to resilience, determination, and the power of community. Just weeks after completing LeJog – that’s cycling the full length of Great Britain from Land’s End to John o’ Groats – he tackled his first Everesting on Porlock Hill, battling GPS dropouts, punctures, and sheer exhaustion to raise £950 for The Haemophilia Society – a cause close to his heart.⁠

Two years later, 25kg lighter and with renewed focus, Aidan joined 100 riders in the Peak District, aiming for a group world record. Though the record wasn’t achieved, he finished 3rd in 13 hours, 13 hours faster than his first attempt, learning more about himself and forming lifelong connections.⁠


Now a coach, Aidan supported others through their virtual Everesting, climbing 10,000m himself to encourage their success.⁠

Aidan puts it best. “I was never doing another one after the first but different motivations led me to them, I now have 3 on the Hall of Fame, and I met some of the best cyclists and people I know through this challenge. ⁠

You may fail, you may want to give up but trust me, the climb is always worth it – and in this case the last rep will 100% be worth it. Believe and embrace progress.”
