What if you could do it from the comfort of your work, home or town? Step to the summit of Everest is a wellbeing program with a difference. It invites you on a unique virtual climb to the top of the world, guided by expert mountaineer Tashi Sherpa.

The Program

The program starts on March 11 2024 and runs for 4 weeks, the exact length of time it takes to climb to the summit of Mt Everest. Tashi Sherpa will guide you to the summit of Everest with support from Katrina Webb via weekly emails, itineraries and videos. It will be like you are really there. You will learn leadership and cultural insights along the way too.

The great news is your choose the level of elevation that suits you. The four option ares:

Level 1 - 1724m of elevation (50% of the elevation from Everest Base Camp to the summit)

Level 2 - 3448m of elevation (elevation from Everest Base Camp to the summit)

Level 3 - 6548m of elevation (the exact elevation teams do to make it successfully to the summit)

Level 4 - choose your own elevation and it does not have to be stepping. You can set non physical elevation goals for yourself or even choose goals to elevate others.

Once you have decided on your level of elevation, then it is simple. You only need four things:

1. Yourself

2. Stairs, an incline or a hill nearby

3. A device to measure your elevation such as a smart phone/watch, an app, a map or even a measuring tape to calculate your elevation (stairs or a hill)

4. Motivation to achieve your weekly elevation goal

Once registered you will receive:

1. A weekly email outlining your elevation goal and a weekly itinerary of climbing Everest.

2. A weekly video from your mountain guide Tashi Sherpa which will brief you on your weekly challenge, share stories and amazing photos/videos from Mt Everest.

3. Access to online interactive platforms to record and share your experience.

4. Finally you plan your week by working out how many local hills or stairs you need to climb to reach your elevation goal and then you start stepping!
