Emma Pooley (99-01) in 48 Hour Everesting Challenge
March 5, 2025
Olympic cycling medallist @pooleyemma is taking on the Everesting 48H Challenge in Ordino, Andorra.

A world-class climber, Pooley's achievements include Olympic silver in time trial (2008), a World Championship title (2010), multiple Duathlon World titles, and even an Everesting world record on the bike. Now, she's pushing her limits once again - this time on foot.
"My first Everesting by bike was a challenge I will never forget . . . Tackling 8,848m on foot has interested me for a while, and to do it in such a beautiful place, with excellent support and likeminded people, is unmissable."
Emma is joining an incredible lineup of athletes for the first official Everesting event in history. This challenge just got even bigger!
The challenge runs from May 29 - June 1, 2025 and requires athletes to climb the 480-meter Mirador de Tristaina 19 times, equaling the height of Mt Everest. With 48 hours to complete the ascent, competitors can decide when to climb, rest and refuel.
Good luck, Emma. Let us know how you get on!
