29029 is an endurance events company whose flagship format asks participants to climb 29,029 vertical feet — the height of Mount Everest — on a single mountain within 36 hours, hiking up and riding the gondola down, lap after lap.
29029 Everesting Stratton runs October 22-25, 2026 at Stratton Mountain Resort in Stratton Mountain, Vermont (base elevation 1,872 ft) — the closing event of the 2026 season. The route climbs the Lower Standard ski run onto Upper Standard and up to the summit: 1,750 vertical feet over 1.4 miles per ascent, repeated 17 times for roughly 23.8 miles of climbing and the full 29,029 feet.
Entry is $5,495, with a six-installment payment plan offered. It covers three nights at the Stratton Village hotels, all meals, beverages, and alcohol, a 20-week training plan, elite coaching including monthly calls, recovery lounge services, limited-edition event gear, and a private online participant community. The nearest airport is Albany International (ALB).
This event is sold out. 29029 runs a waitlist from the event page linked above. Registration, waitlist placement, transfers, and refunds are handled directly by 29029, which sells and operates the event itself.
29029 is an endurance events company built around one idea: climb the height of Mount Everest — 29,029 vertical feet — on a single mountain. At its flagship Everesting events, participants hike one ski-resort ascent over and over for 36 hours, riding the gondola back down between laps, until they have banked the full 29,029 feet of vertical gain. Its second format, 29029 TRAIL, replaces the repeat-ascent structure with three mountain marathons on three consecutive days, roughly 79 miles total.
Both formats are all-inclusive hospitality events rather than conventional races: entry covers on-site or resort lodging, all food and beverage, a multi-month structured training plan, access to elite coaching, recovery services, and event gear. Fields are small and events routinely sell out well in advance, with waitlists managed by 29029. 29029 sells and operates every event directly through 29029.co.
