February 1st - 28th, 2025: VERTuary

*STRAVA VIRTUAL CHALLENGE*

28 DAYS. HOW HIGH CAN YOU CLIMB?

In January, we showed you a few of our favorite vert-grabbing routes. Now, for the month of February, it's up to you to see how high you can go. 

We will be tracking total elevation gain through the month of February to see who can climb the highest, AND we'll have one bonus Strava segment, just for fun.

Awards for the top 5 highest climbers, plus folks who reach certain heights. More details below.
