At 29029 legends aren’t born—they’re forged.The red carpet on a final summit does not make you a legend, your journey becomes legendary when you continually show up, time and time again, facing struggle, fatigue, and doubt—You become a legend when you KEEP CLIMBING. In this episode, we celebrate three individuals who have become legends in their own right. Each of them has faced what some would call failure.

In 2022, from the outside looking in you might think Vija Williams had it all. A successful real estate career that wasn’t just growing but thriving. A beautiful family. Dreams that were coming true. But what wasn’t true is that narrative. Vija’s weight had skyrocketed to over 235 pounds. Her health wasn’t what it use to be. It was like she didn’t notice what was happening and maintained a skewed view of who she was and what she could accomplish. She signed up for not one, but two marathons that

You’ve probably thrown a small stone into a still pond before. The small rock breaks the glassy water into ripples that reach out from the rocks entry point seemingly forever if uninterrupted. This ripple effect in nature is the perfect example of what happens within the community at 29029. Thomas Zebley is a 29029 original, a legend on the mountain. He has climbed and finished 12 mountains since 2018. But you don’t reach legendary status in this world showing your own strength and endurance.

Every episode we start by asking “What’s your Everest?” or your biggest goal or challenge in life. BUT there is another question that lies beyond the pronouncement of a goal or something you want to accomplish and it’s a bit more complex. Why?Why do you want to challenge yourself? Why do you want to sacrifice time and money? Why is THIS so important? Why?

2024/08/15

The boxer Mike Tyson once said “Everyone has a plan until you’re punched in the mouth” This feels like a truth we all understand; that things in this life are not going to unfold the way we want or expect them to. They never have and they never will. Yet, we go around creating our perfect plans and end up shocked and disappointed when our plans fail. On the mountain we know how many laps we need to do before lunch, what we will wear to start and the intervals at which we will change our socks

Sometimes the world feels so big and overwhelming. There are so many people in so many places with so many opinions, values and path. ......But something happens on the mountains and the trails, on long bike rides and over monotonous hours of endurance training. There’s something within endurance sport that acts like a binding agent reaching across borders and cultures, filling in the gaps of humanity until we all seem to be a bit more similar…….because aren’t we all simply people, who strive to

2024/06/14

The mountain has a way of checking our soul, of challenging us on multiple levels all at once. We met David Allen at Snowbasin this year. He was strong, fit and capable, a gym owner, former athlete and powerlifter.. He always smiled when we referred to him as “Dr. David Allen” when he would return to the base of the mountain to brand his board. (Sidenote: David’s not a “doctor” but his name sure made us think of one from a daytime soap opera.) At the Ascent Board, we see participants multiple

If I can climb 29,029 feet in 36 hours, with very little sleep and live to tell the tale…..What else can I do? If you are signed up for 29029 get ready to ask yourself this question when you get home from the mountain. It’s inevitable. Doing hard things is a key that unlocks future potential.

Have you ever watched a great athlete perform? They can look flawless. Light on their feet. Perfect form. They make everything look effortless. Whether it's at 29029 or another endurance event it’s easy to see the “front of the pack” and think “how can this be so easy for them”.....”and why isn’t it that easy for me” I’m not sure what it is that makes us think that those who are winning the races and climbing in front of us are somehow having an easier time.

When most people sign up for 29029 they get used to being asked “but Why?” Why in the world would you want to climb the same mountain for 36 hours? Why would you want to put yourself through that? Why would you climb in the rain, the sun, the dark, the snow? Why would you dedicate so much of your time to earn a red hat? Joannie Rich has been asked “why” more times than she can remember. That’s probably because she was the first 29029 participant in 2021 to wear a black bib, signifying that she had
