Hell on Helvellyn - Apex Everest Challenge
Just over 6mths ago I heard about a new challenge based in the Lake District National Park to scale Helvellyn 9.2 times within 48hrs to accumulate over 8,848m...the height of Everest and it had be intrigued.
The event, the Apex Everest Challenge is open to both individuals and teams. I chose the team option so contacted the event and signed up and set out to assemble a team of like minded hikers who would not only relish the challenge but who also would be great people to spend the weekend with a make some great memories with....I honestly couldn't have picked 4 better guys!
I wouldn't have changed a thing about the event from start to finish. It was so well organised and we were looked after all weekend along with the other 96 competitors. We camped onsite and at the event HQ literally everything you could want and need was included. Hot and cold foods were provided 24/7 plus sandwiches, soup, pastries, snacks, energy bars, fruit, tea and coffee and more all available whenever you wanted it plus, energy bars, electrolytes, energy gels and more. All included in the price.
Over the 2 days my stats showed I completed 4,214M of ascent (13,825ft) over a distance of 45km with 55,000 steps and burning over 6,600 calories. As a team we hit just over 30,000ft of ascent completing our goal.
My team for this one literally needs no introduction but here we go....
Andy @BackpackingUK
It was a no brainer to ask Andy who I met last year for the first time when we both took on the OMM Event together in Snowdonia. An awesome, down to earth guy who's really fit, loves a challenge and we had such a good time last year . Really genuine nice guy and makes great videos on YouTube too. If you're not subscribed you're missing out. Head over to his channel, drop a subscription and check out his video from the event too. Great content and makes the best gear reviews too so get signed up. We also have the OMM together this October so stay tuned for that one!
Alan @BUSHMANandBLUE
Our secret weapon....this guy is made for the hills and events like this with his fell running background. I've met Al quite a few times now and each time always had a great laugh and got on well together. Alan loves challenges as you'll see from his Youtube videos...always up in the mountains pushing himself in extreme conditions. He's like a Duracell bunny and keeps on going and I did more ascents with Al than anyone else and really loved his company. Again check out his channel you'll love his videos and will learn a lot from Al. He's the real deal.
Dave @TheSoloSummiteer
Dave joined on without much notice so didn't have too much time to get ready for the event but the moment he heard about the team and event he was straight on it. Don't underestimate Dave....he's really fit and thrives on the mountains and so glad he joined the team. What a lovely guy, I have so much time for Dave and really enjoyed sharing the mountain with him. All smiles all weekend and pushed himself all the way...should be proud! Check out Dave's videos too...if you're looking for that perfect summit pitch Dave will show you some crackers on his channel.
