The expedition has come to an end and we are all safely home in the UK. It has been a fantastic success and the statistics speak for themselves:

  • 3 of the 5 cyclists summitted thus completing the longest climb on Earth
  • 9 of the 16 climbers (including our sherpa team) summitted
  • 13 of the 15 EVERESTMAX team reached the North Col (higher than any place in the World outside the Himalaya)
  • Pauline and Phil became the first British couple to summit
  • Most importantly all 15 members of the expedition have returned to Base Camp safely

Have a look at the news page for our daily record of the expedition and accounts of the successful summit bids.

Dom at the summit


The EVERESTMAX expedition has become the first team to complete the ascent from the shores of the Dead Sea to the summit of Everest. The journey from the lowest point on Earth to the highest was the last great overland challenge on the Earth's surface.

The team departed from the Dead Sea on the 21st of December 2005 and cycled through eight countries to reach Everest Base Camp on 12th of April 2006. The team were joined by 8 additional climbers and spent 7 weeks on the mountain culminating in 3 of the 5 cyclists reaching the summit. They completed a total ascent of 9300m (about 30,250'), the highest climb possible on Earth.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is the patron of EVERESTMAX.
