29029. What do those numbers mean to you? To many, they represent the highest point on earth Mt. Everest, to others, 29029 is a community bonded by human achievement, adventure, and the best of humanity. It's a group of likeminded people who take on significant challenges and experience life, the way it should be. To some, 29029 is an opportunity to craft their unique stories. And we're here to bring those stories to life. 29029 is a new category of endurance sport — the challenge is to hike the equivalent height of Mt. Everest. A challenge for your mind, body, and soul

Episode 49 - Sometimes Quitting Isn’t Failure | Noah Pines

Season 4 · Episode 49

Thursday, August 15, 2024 • Duration 34:30

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 and eat our meals. We know how long we will sleep and ride the gondola. We plan for showers and slow downs overnight. We’ve seen spreadsheets and laminated cards laying out minute-by-minute all 36 hours. Then the airhorn sounds and we start climbing.

Noah Pines was a 3x alumni trying his hand at the newest mountain in the 29029 fleet - Jackson Hole 2023. He had 3 hats on his shelf back home and now he wore a black bib on his back. At 6am on Friday morning he began to work his plan to pull on his 4th red hat.

No one ever plans to get punched in the mouth……except for if you are MIke Tyson.....Noah sure didn’t until it happened.

What do you do when nothing goes to plan?

What happens when you are faced with a choice that you never imagined you would face on the mountain?

What of your goals?

Your success?

What if you can’t reach Everest?

No one likes to talk about it, but we are going to talk about it in this episode.

Episode 48 - She Googled "Hard Endurance Events" | Hannah Waters

Season 4 · Episode 48

Monday, July 15, 2024 • Duration 35:12

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 be the best versions of ourselves?

Hannah Waters first climbed 29029 at Whistler in 2022. She showed up alone and left with a red hat and 4 new friends. Those friends met again on the mountain at Jackson Hole in 2023.

Hannah had flown across the world to Jackson Hole from her home in Saudi Arabia, the flight taking almost as long as it would take her to earn her second red hat.

Four friends grew to 5 on that mountain and Hannah added another dot to her global map showing how sport connected her no matter where she traveled.

There is no doubt when you watch Hannah that she is an athlete. Endurance sport is as big a part of her life as her career. She doesn’t train to win. She isn’t gunning for the top spot (though you will most likely find her there).

Hannah loves the process of endurance sport. She loves the community. Sport makes her feel like she’s a part of something no matter where in the world her life has taken her……and it’s taken her on quite a ride!

Episode 40 - Setting & Crushing Your Big Goals | 29029 Co-Founders Marc Hodulich, Jesse Itzler & Colin O'Brady

Season 3 · Episode 40

Wednesday, December 13, 2023 • Duration 36:05

On December 12, 2023 the three 29029 Co-Founders (Marc Hodulich, Jesse Itzler and Colin O’Brady) sat down to welcome our community to a new year and a new season!

Each of these men lives and breathes endurance sports. It’s not just their business, it is their lives.

Their takeaways for how to plan, prepare and balance a massive goal like 29029 is just what you need to hear as you prepare for a new year of challenges in your own life.

No matter what mountains you are facing in this new season, know that when you lean into a community and open yourself up to new and uncomfortable experiences, you will grow into a newer, better version of yourself.

NOTE: Jesse’s wifi didn’t seem to have gotten the memo that it’s almost 2024 and we aren’t using 1996 dial-up anymore, so forgive us for some of the audio.

Episode 39 - "Go and Make it Meaningful" | Jon Samnick

Season 3 · Episode 39

Tuesday, November 14, 2023 • Duration 01:04:28

The hardest thing about producing this podcast is that all of our participants at 29029 have a story. They have REALLY good stories. We are going to keep sharing those stories with you month after month and season after season.....but every once in a while there is a story that transcends the others.

A story that epitomizes what 29029 stands for.

Jon Samnick has been climbing mountains with 29029 for a long time. When Jon started there were no red hats, no red carpets…..there weren’t even coaches or training plans. There was just a mountain and newly formed community that was about to change everything for Jon.

Jon talks of how he is drawn to 29029. He’s open to the experiences the mountain presents to him. He’s not there for the red hat or some finish line.

He’s there to “make it meaningful”.

Episode 38 - I Signed Up for 29029! Now What? | Coach Brent Pease

Season 3 · Episode 38

Saturday, October 14, 2023 • Duration 34:22

So! You signed up for 29029. Now what?

Maybe you are nervous.

Maybe you are excited.

Maybe you are even a bit scared…..okay you might be REALLY scared.

All of those emotions are okay!

You just signed up to climb 29,029 feet up a mountain in 36 hours. That’s big, but we promise you are going to love it!

Unlike other endurance events, 29029 will be different. You are going to be fully supported and surrounded by a community of like-minded individuals who are seeking to be their best and want to support you in the same journey.

One of the first people you will have the privilege of meeting and interacting with on this wild ride, is our Head Coach, Brent Pease. Brent is a brother, a husband, a father, a multi-sport athlete and coach. When he isn’t pushing his brother Kyle’s racing chair to the finish line of an Ironman or advocating for inclusion in sport for athletes with disabilities, Brent is writing 29029 training plans and answering your questions!

Brent is a huge reason why so many red hats now dot the world. He is one of the most experienced coaches in the country and has lived and breathed 29029 since our first event in 2017.

We figured there was no one better to help you feel confident in your decision to climb 29029 than him!

Episode 036 - The Community We Create | Grace Henrikson

Season 3 · Episode 36

Wednesday, September 13, 2023 • Duration 21:10

If you ever have the chance to come to 29029, I hope that you take a moment to just observe.

Watch, listen and just feel…..You'll recognize something profound……29029 has little to do with climbing a mountain.

Of course, on Friday morning at 6am we blow an airhorn and send a 250 people climbing….So yes. There’s definitely a mountain involved.

But what you see, hear and feel at 29029 has everything to do with the people who are there, not the mountain they are climbing.

It’s this special community of mostly strangers embarking on a chance of a lifetime together.

Grace Henrikson found herself signed up for 29029 right before the world would lock down due to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. What’s so cool about Grace’s story is that since her first 29029 event (allbeit a virtual one) she has been a part of creating the community we all all benefit from today.

Today Grace owns 3 red hats and has volunteered on the mountain just as many times as she has climbed. Grace’s story is 29029’s story. A story of resilience, strength, commitment and a whole lot of fun!

Episode 035 - Critical Mindset | Chris Bystriansky

Season 3 · Episode 35

Tuesday, August 15, 2023 • Duration 27:23

Part of my job as the host and emcee at 29029 events is getting to know the participants who take on the challenge to find their Everest. Over the 4 days that I get to spend with them, I typically get a good read on who they are and some of the roads and backroads they have traveled before climbing our mountains. Each one of them has a story and I see it as my job to unlock a bit of that narrative to help create powerful moments on the mountain.

But sometimes I don’t see the whole story. This was one of those times.

I first met Chris Bystriansky in 2021 at Snowbasin. He was a guy with a great smile and fun personality climbing with his buddies. He struggled and eventually called it a day 3 ascents short of his Everest. \

In 2022, he was back on the mountain in Snowbasin. I knew he had recently moved his family to Orlando with his wife and two young daughters. He and Alison split up their 29029 events between the two Snowbasin weekends that year so one of them would be home with the kids. Alison earned her red hat at Snowbasin #1 and Chris was back for redemption at Snowbasin #2. Again, he was charming and happy. He dug deep and this time conquered his Everest on that mountain.

It wasn’t until months later that Chris sent me a book he had written. When I opened the package and looked at the front cover I saw that familiar grin from the mountain……but then I saw something I didn’t expect. Something I hadn’t realized even after watching Chris climb a total of 23 ascents up Snowbasin in the past two years. On the front cover Chris was holding two artificial hip joints…..Just like his artificial hip joints. Chris not one but two artificial hips!

How does a 39 year old man handle 2 hip replacement surgeries in 18 months with a wife and a small child? How does someone come back from a major surgery and rehabilitation like that to complete multiple Ironman triathlons and climb two 29029 events….when before that being athletic but not an endurance athlete!

It’s a mindset and one that we would all benefit from.

Episode 034 - The Mountain is a Mirror | Julie Traxler

Season 3 · Episode 34

Monday, July 10, 2023 • Duration 39:03

We all create stories in our minds. Some of those stories take the form of wishes and dreams.....maybe hopes and visions for the future.

But let’s be honest, some of those stories aren’t fairytales.

Some of our stories that we create are rooted in fear, shame, vulnerability and served up with a healthy helping of doubt.

Some of the stories you have told yourself about yourself are so unkind you would never speak something like that to someone else.

But yet……those are the stories that seem to play the loudest on a loop in your head.....especially when you attempt something outside of your comfort zone.

Julie Traxler wanted to climb the mountain at 29029. She wanted to wear the red hat. She wanted to watch the brands on the ascent board add up until on Saturday, she would stand atop her Everest at Stratton Mountain Vermont.

Julie hadn’t even started to climb on Friday when the stories she was telling herself…..not the fairytale and rainbow stories…..but the shameful, hateful poisonous stories......started to play over and over in her mind.

Julie’s experience at 29029 is raw and blissfully unfiltered. It is a story of a woman who saw the parts of herself that she hated the most reflected right back to her in the mirror that was her mountain.

The work that it takes to climb the mountains in our lives is hard. Sure, we love to share the beautiful pictures with breathtaking landscapes and exhausted happy people wearing red hats. We all love a good ending.

But to only share those images and those stories does not do justice to the journey that takes place inside the messy middle when we choose climb.

Episode 033 - An Extraordinary Meeting | Michael Parnell

Season 3 · Episode 33

Wednesday, June 14, 2023 • Duration 22:08

If you’ve listened or followed this podcast before you know we talk a lot about “the why”. Why do we climb? Why do we choose to voluntarily put ourselves in a position to struggle in order to climb the vertical feet of mountain Everest.

Every single participant who presses that red registration button on the 29029 website is there for a different reason. We have participants show up with perfect clarity as to what they are seeking to find and accomplish through their 29029 experience. Others seem to find their why as they train over 20 weeks. Sometimes the realization of “why” develops as the 36 hour clock begins to count down on that Friday morning.

We see these “whys” all over the mountain. They are written on the back of t-shirts and pinned to hydration packs. They are carried in pockets or opened from envelopes. We’ve seen them written on arms and tucked tightly into hearts.

29029 isn’t about climbing a mountain over and over again, it’s all about why you are choosing to be there.

Mike Parnell had a why! He was going to climb 29029 vertical feet at Stratton Mountain in Vermont October 2021 and he was going to do it in the name of his young daughter Ryan who suffers from a rare autoimmune disease.

Though he raised over 100,000 dollars in Ryan’s honor, Mike didn’t really find out why he was on the mountain until after he left.

A chance meeting and an off-handed comment at the awards dinner would propel Mike through a door he never knew existed.....nor did he realize that 29029 was the key.

Episode 032 - It's Addictive | "Souper" Jenny Levison

Monday, May 15, 2023 • Duration 28:11

When you create something new like 29029 you never know what will happen. It’s hard to tell if people are going to buy into the idea that climbing up a mountain for 36 hours over a weekend to try to reach the vertical gain of Mt. Everest is a good idea or not.

In 2017 when 29029 was launched, it was a small group of people who were known for enjoying crazy experiences. They loved it! Of course they did. In 2018 as the brand expanded to include an additional location in Snowbasin Utah a larger community had the opportunity to experience this new everesting concept. By 2019 and the pandemic year of 2020, 29029 Everesting had a full-blown community. There were alumni returning to the mountain each season. Those alumni were wearing their red hats and 7 summit triangle shirts. 29029 was growing.

Sitting here years later, it’s impossible to imagine our summers without the mountain. What started as a crazy idea that may or may not have work has become our passion.

Jenny Levison (or Souper Jenny as many of her Restaurant customers in Atlanta know) is one of those individuals who has been there since almost the very beginning. She too didn’t know quite what this 29029 experiment was……

But in the years between Jenny’s first climb in 2018 to today, as she is preparing to take on the mountain for her 4th time, she’s found something she can’t quite let go of…..

Jenny is going to take us back to the early days of 29029 and recount the moments and lessons the mountain has provided in her life. Though Jenny has never had the opportunity to place a red hat on her head……yet……..she comes back for more than that token of completion. She climbs for herself and for the people who tirelessly show up ascent after ascent and year after year as she’s chosen to just keep climbing.
