Among the old-growth forest of towering trees every once in a while you’d spot a a green flash……flourescent green to be exact on top of the heads of the crew from Google. Those hats belonged to Team Green Lightning. Some may argue there is nothing “lightening” when you are climbing 4 mile 3900 foot ascents up a mountain for 36 hours, but a team they were. Colleagues by day, turned cheerleaders and confidants on the mountain. Brian Goldstein was part of Team Gre...

T-Time with Tori Totlis169. The 29029 Everesting Challenge with Justin KlemballaJustin Klemballa tackled one of the most grueling endurance challenges out there – the 29029 Everting event at Jackson Hole. For those unfamiliar, this isn't your typical weekend hike. Participants climb a mountain 19 times in 36 hours to reach the equivalent height of Mount Everest (29,029 feet). You read that right – 19 times up the same brutal mountain. It's steep as hell and requires the most ascents of any 29029 location. Only two-thirds of participants actually finish and earn the coveted red hat. The experience has Justin buzzing about hosting his own golf instruction trips, combining bucket-list destinations with on-course coaching. Because apparently, surviving 29029 gives you...

It is also a depiction of how matching stories, even if they are painful is something we do inside of relationship and quite frankly are addicted to. Ups and downs are going to happen, yet we are still surprised. This was a couple and family project that centered around one acccomplishment, hiking the elevation...

Watch, listen and just feel…..You'll recognize something profound……29029 has little to do with climbing a mountain.
Of course, on Friday morning at 6am we blow an airhorn and send a 250 people climbing….So yes. There’s definitely a mountain involved.
But what you see, hear and feel at 29029 has everything to do with the people who are there, not the mountain they are climbing.

Over the 4 days that I get to spend with them, I typically get a good read on who they are and some of the roads and backroads they have traveled before climbing our mountains. Each one of them has a story and I see it as my job to unlock a bit of that narrative to help create powerful moments on the mountain.

But let’s be honest, some of those stories aren’t fairytales.
Some of our stories that we create are rooted in fear, shame, vulnerability and served up with a healthy helping of doubt.
Some of the stories you have told yourself about yourself are so unkind you would never speak something like that to someone else.
But yet……those are the stories that seem to play the loud...

Every single participant who presses that red registration button on the 29029 website is there for a different reason. We have participants show up with perfect clarity as to what they are seeking to find and accomplish through their 29029 experience. Others seem to find their why as they train over 20 weeks.

It’s hard to tell if people are going to buy into the idea that climbing up a mountain for 36 hours over a weekend to try to reach the vertical gain of Mt. Everest is a good idea or not.
In 2017 when 29029 was launched, it was a small group of people who were known for enjoying crazy experiences. They loved it! Of course they did. In 2018 as the brand expanded to include an additional location in Snowbasin Utah a larger community had the opportunity to experien...

Grief is different for everyone and the ways we move through our grief are as unique as the reasons why people sign up to climb a mountain over and over again for 36 hours to reach the vertical gain of Mt. Everest.
But the thing about choosing to climb a mountain with a partner like grief is that you can’t hide. The mountain will cause you to face whatever it is that l...

I was scrolling through old photos and came across images from our first event in 2017 at Stratton Mountain Vermont. Some things looked different, like the ascent board and the bibs. Some things operated differently, like the gondola and the schedule. But there was something familiar in those old photos, something I’ve noticed ever since my first time on the mountain in 2019.
