At 8,848 meters, Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth and the ultimate objective in high-altitude mountaineering. First summited on May 29, 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay Sherpa via the Southeast Ridge, the mountain has drawn climbers from around the world for over seven decades. Two standard routes exist for speed record purposes: the Southeast Ridge from the Nepal side, beginning at the stream crossing at the top of Everest Base Camp in the Khumbu Valley (5,300m), and the Northeast Ridge from the Tibet side, beginning at Base Camp on the Rongbuk Glacier (5,150m).

Important Note on Route Evolution & FKT Status

To FKT Editors and Future Thru-Hikers: The current route data listed across many historical tracking platforms (including fastestknowntime.com) frequently reflects the old, original baseline of 164 miles (terminating at Woolum). Later iterations stopped at Dillard's Ferry (208 miles) or the White River road walk (251 miles).

The Nev Cole Way is a long distance walk in the north of Lincolnshire which is a tribute to one of the regions most popular ramblers.

It was devised by the Wanderlust Rambling Club which was formed in 1932 by Nev Cole. As the Wanderlust membership attests 'It celebrates his life, the creation of the Club and Nev's friends in the Ramblers Association groups but not least, the Wanderlust Rambling Club of Grimsby'.

Trail running has had a storied and competitive history in the Grand Canyon. But while the popular R2R2R trails receive a lot of attention, less attention is paid towards running the mountains inside the Canyon itself. Brahma Temple is one of these. The route begins with descending the South Kaibab trail, crossing the bridge over the Colorado River, and running past Phantom Ranch. Just past the ranch is a turnoff sign, where runners should turn right and begin the climb up.
