How it works
By taking part in The Climb you can raise money for Tearfund’s life-saving work across the world. You can take to the stairs in your home or simply step on and off a box until you reach the top...
We recommend you climb the equivalent height of the Four Peaks, Kilimanjaro if you want more of a challenge, or Ben Nevis if you want to make it slightly easier. It’s up to you over how many days you choose to complete the challenge. Do the maths to match your fitness level. You could do The Climb over a month, a couple of weekends or in a day if you’re a seasoned climber
Here are a few suggestions:
Beginner - Ben Nevis
1500m

28 days = 17 ascents

4000m
Ascents per day
28 days = 55 ascents
14 days = 110 ascents
7 days = 220 ascents
Experienced - Kilimanjaro
6000m
Ascents per day
28 days = 76 ascents
14 days = 152 ascents
7 days = 304 ascents
(An ascent is one climb of an average staircase, containing 15 steps)
