Where does it say it has to be the same hill?

*Some might even tackle the Challenge in one day, a feat known as "Everesting".

Agreed. Or the three Ventoux climbs in less than 24 hours. That'd be fun.

I also don't see why someone that was Everesting wouldn't just do that bit extra to hit 10,000 metres of climbing either

I'm considering this later in the year or next year after another season climbing http://www.clubcinglesventoux.org/en/rules.html

.

The Bicinglette is enough to satisfy the height requirements of Everest at 8800 metres.

Definitely something I want to do, and you can get support for what I thought was a fairly reasonable price too. Get them to carry your aero wheels for the climb and swap at the top with your lightweight climbing wheels.

I guess with climbing 10k you'd have to also descend 10k... In which case is it known as Mariana'ing?

Hunt around for some kinda 10-15 mile UK based loop with 5k elevation in total and then just do it 20 times? Not as boring as hundreds of the same climb
