Everested - 8848m / 29,029 feet in one ride - Tactics

Some might know there is Extra Credit (Hidden Achievement) for those who climb 8848m / 29,029 feet in a single ride. The so called Everested credit :open_mouth::alien:

  • Who did it already?
  • Tactics?
    • Which is the fastest way for achieving ā€œEverested Creditā€?
    • Alpe du Zwift multiple times?
  • Any goodies (Jersey, Experience) unlocked when reaching the Everest-Status?

Kind regards

Just plain old self-satisfaction (and a screen shot if you don’t collapse)
Here’s an unofficial list from zpower.com

at least on alp du zwift you get a ten minute break on the downhill. I barely made a second trip, I think you need 8 and a half trips.

What is the reward when finishing?
A special kit, bike, drops, experience?

Buns of Steel, but very sore ones :slight_smile:

looks amazing and is even more a stimulation to completly fall in trance for over 8 h in the digital world!

150 miles jersey? Are you sure? I didn’t know they had one for 150 miles.

You get the badge, thats it. You dont a jersey. And you dont get a jersey for 150 miles. Because by the time I’d been up 7 times and came down I was on 149.9 mile. Rounded it to 150 got nothing. I did for 100 mile. Get a jersey. I got the badge about half way up number 7. But alp du zwuft you need to do 25 times for another badge, and im still working towards the tron bike, so I kept going, you also unlock a goodie at the top each time, unless you already have it then you get xp. Alp du zwift is highest best route to do. Route to sky, is the route that gets you there. And yes when you turn round at top, its 10 mins free ride to bottom. So time for a drink, snack, leg stretch. I had the day off, it took about 8 hours. Yes my knees and backside hurts. But I did it.

The kilometer jersey is 100 km or 62 miles. There’s nothing for 50 miles as there’s still 12 more to go for the jersey.

I did it last year. Not official though since my gear ratio was too harsh and trainer difficulty was somewhat 50%. And just now noticed that there is ZP list and I’m not there… is it because of that not official? :thinking:
Well, I was doing it just for THE badge :sweat_smile:

But what I can advice is that take nutrition seriously. I had too much sweets and oh boy… I don’t think that I’m gonna buy white chocolate gingerbread balls anywhere near future :see_no_evil::joy:

If you do road to sky, does it loop automatically, or do you need to U-turn manually each time at the bottom?

U-turn at the bottom.
It would also be a few less pedal strokes if you U-turn at the top as soon as the prize wheel starts to spin, rather than going all the way around the loop at the top.
