Saturday, 6 September 2025 at 5:30 am to Sunday, 7 September 2025 at 5:00 pm

Organisers: Finlay Main, Jack Goodeve

We've decided to train for our inevitable K2 summit so here is our plan. If we climb mount vic 44 times we will basically have climbed K2 (8611m), and travelled something akin to 114km, that is roughly 1/30 of the Te Araroa. This will roughly take us two days of non stop walking!!

Gameplan is to meet at oritental bay FIRST THING at 5:30 in the morning and, start walking, first people to stop WOULD NOT survive K2. 

You Will Need:

  • A head torch.
  • Good shoes; I recommend wearing trailrunners or running shoes. 
  • Plenty of high energy dense food. Since this is basically a death march, you should ensure you've got enough energy to avoid dying.
  • Warm clothes; since we will potentially end up walking through the night, try to bring some warm layers because it is currenty cold (Not as cold as K2 unfortunatly).
  • HIGH LEVELS OF MOTIVATION!!!
