Accumulate as much elevation gain as possible.

Let's do this

October Challenge

Time to take your rucking to new heights with this month’ rucking challenge as you seek to accumulate as much elevation as possible as you ruck.

To make things interesting, attempt to accumulate enough elevation to “summit” a mountain (assuming you don’t have an actual mountain nearby to summit).

Difficulty:
Mount Rainer – 14,409′
Mount Washington – 6,289′
Sutter Butes – 2,122′
Woodall Mountain – 806′
(Or, pick your own mountain.)

Can be done all-at-once or over several rucks for the taller mountains.

Live in an area with no hills or mountains?

Sounds like you’re doing a stair climb challenge to accumulate your vertical gain.

Weight:

20-30 Pounds.

Ruck Clubs:
Get the club together and perform the challenge.
