This combines the 5 Peaks route with the crumbling ridgeline traverse to Bukreev Peak — back to back, no breaks. You'll drop the bike constantly. In some sections, bikes have to be passed person-to-person up rock walls where tires have zero traction. The air is thin, the rock is loose, and by hour 10 your arms are useless. Dawn to dusk. If you complete this, you've done the hardest single-day ride we offer. Most people who sign up for this one have been riding with us for months.
Helmet, balaclava, body armor with arm protection, knee pads (worn over your pants), jersey, and gloves.
Water, windbreaker jacket (depending on weather), thick pants, and comfortable closed-toe shoes.
"12 hours combining Bukreev Peak with the Five Peaks route. This is the ultimate test. Only attempted it because the guide insisted I was ready."
Тимофей Г."12 hours. I've done trail marathons and this was harder. The second half is where it breaks you because the Bukreev section is all above 3,000m and your body is already spent. I sat at the finish and didn't move for 20 minutes."
