THE STOKE IS HIGH!
Expect an evolved experience for 2026!
This year will be a particularly momentous celebration: It was 25 years ago that No Barriers cofounder Erik Weihenmayer became the first blind person in history to summit Mount Everest. He didn’t do it alone, though. He relied on his rope team, with each person trusting the next, all refusing to let a barrier be the end of the story.
That’s why What’s Your Everest is an inclusive, all-abilities team effort covering over 3.9 miles and 1,500 feet of elevation gain.
This impactful experience is a community hike unlike anything else!
You can come solo and join a group, or you can bring your own rope team. Either way, you’ll make new friends, help support our mission to spread the No Barriers mindset, and enjoy outstanding views and beautiful surroundings along the way.
