WAIT. WHAT DID YOU JUST GO AND DO?
Amazing effort! Congratulations are in order. Please take that deep sigh of relief now and follow these steps to maximise your recovery and complete the process to have your effort listed in the Everesting Hall of Fame.
SUBMIT ACTIVITY
Submit your run on our submissions page. You’ll need to connect your Strava profile (if you don’t have one, create one) and a link to your run.
The steps for a submission are simple:
STEP ONE: REGISTER YOUR DETAILS
Click on the SUBMIT button. You will need to register an account.
Once your account is created you will be taken to an Athlete profile page. Select the Submissions tab in the menu bar.
Once in the submission page click on Submit activity
STEP TWO: SELECT YOUR EVERESTING ACTIVITY TO SUBMIT
We automatically scan for any activity over 2000m so whether you have done a Basecamp, Everesting, 10K or Roam we will pick it up. Alternatively you can manually enter the Strava link of the Everesting activity into the manual selection box. Select the Everesting activity to submit. Please make sure the Strava file is publicly viewable otherwise we will not be able to approve the activity.
STEP THREE: CHECK, AMEND AND SUBMIT
Check the data that automatically populates your submission form. Manually update any fields as required. Please include any comments that may assist our verification process. Use the comments box to add a link to a second activity (eg due to a split recording).
All Everesting submissions must be verified by our panel prior to being accepted as valid.
Once your Everesting is approved you will receive an email and your activity will be listed in the Hall of Fame on Everesting.com
Please allow up to 7 days to allow your approval to take place (although it is usually much quicker than this). We are thorough with our process and make sure only successful Everestings end up in the Hall of Fame
INDUCTION INTO THE HALL OF FAME
Successful Everestings are listed in the Everesting Hall of Fame on Everesting.com.
The Hall of Fame
The Hall of Fame features some great filters allowing you to deep dive into the data of your own and other Everestings. You can filter by country, rider, gender, age, elevation to name a few. Use the filter buttons or search bar.
Your Everesting Listing in the Hall of Fame
Once uploaded your Everesting will feature in the Hall of Fame. The listing contains a snap shot of your Everesting at a glance. The listing will showcase your name, age, how many previous Everestings completed, the segment name, location, date and time and the main stats of interest such as total distance, elevation, average gradient and elapsed time. You will also be allocated any badges that you achieve with the listed activity. See the badges page for more information on achievements. You can deep dive further into the activity by clicking on the listing.
Activity Profile Page
When you click on the listing in the Hall of Fame you will be taken to a activity profile page.
Athlete Profile Page
When you click through from the Hall of Fame you will also notice an athlete profile summary that also showcases all the Everesting badges and achievements for each athlete. Hover over any of the badges to learn what each is for. Complete more Everestings to unlock more badges. See our achievements page for more information.
BECOME A KEEPER OF THE CLOUD
Everesting is your key to becoming a Keeper of the Cloud and unlocking unobtainable gear, the Everesting kit reserved only for the most elite hill climbers in the world. An Everesting tee is the most coveted of hill climbing gear. Once earned Everesting gear is for life.
This gear will have you recognised as a crew member and apart of an amazing world wide community. A community that shows support and encouragement not just for during your Everesting but continuing support and friendship ongoing.
Once your Everesting has been verified you can purchase your Everesting gear in our online store.
RECOVERY
After an epic challenge such as Everesting your body can feel really depleted. Post ski it is important to refuel and rehydrate. The following day focus on replenishing your nutritional and hydration stores. You will be hungry so don’t hold back, but try not to go too crazy with the celebration drinks!
Some simple recovery tips:
- Ensure you replace fluid and salts lost with specialised hydration or even soaking in an Epsom salt bath rich in magnesium.
- Some people benefit from hot/cold baths after an effort like this to aid muscle recovery and prevent DOMS.
- A gentle recovery ride, jog, or ski in the following few days focusing on the legs spinning will help the muscles to recover more effectively.
- A massage is a good idea, but best to try and leave it for a few days after your Everesting effort.
- Expect to experience a big high for a few days accompanied by a great big low a few days later. This is normal.
- Sleep, sleep, sleep
NEXT STEPS
You have completed your Everesting so what next? In the days and weeks after completing an Everesting you will be quickly inspired to take on further challenges.
The beauty of Everesting is there is no end to the type of Everesting be it on foot, bike or ski. The more you complete the more badges you unlock on your athlete profile.
