Climb 89

Climb 89 is a hill repeat Everesting event held at Badger Mountain Westgate Trailhead in Richland, WA. The course is an out-and-back segment of 0.35 mile one way with about 292 feet (89 meters) of elevation gain per ascent. Terrain is a mix of dirt and rocks and can be uneven, with an average grade of about 16 percent.

Participants repeat the climb as many times as they can within the allotted event period. A lap counting system using barcode badges and bib scans records each completed lap; scans produce an audible signal and display the participant name and current lap count. The start/finish area serves as the single aid station where water, electrolytes, and snacks are provided. Additional food service for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is available at designated times during the event.

Finisher awards are distributed by completed laps with defined categories. The event is limited to 75 participants and registration is available online until three days before the event. Entry fees cover the event, food, and a finisher award. A monetary prize is offered for any course record that stands at the event end.

Event rules include no sleeping during the event, required crossing of turnaround lines for lap credit, limits on crew and aid locations, parking restrictions, and a requirement for sturdy footwear and a working light when it is dark.
