A real Challenge for the climbers out there…Simply climb 5,000 feet in one day by repeating the same hill until you’ve climbed at least 5000 feet or more.

If it climbs 500 feet or more, repeat the climb 10 times! 1000 feet or more each climb and you need to do it 5 times! You can choose any hill, any amount of elevation but make sure you repeat enough times to accumulate 5000 feet or more elevation to claim your medal!
