This achievement can be claimed when you reach a geohash after climbing a certain distance via human power. This climb can be walking, running, cycling, rock-climbing, skiing, snowshoeing, etc., but it must be unassisted by any non-human means, so no hidden motors on your bike. It can be assisted by other humans, such as a tandem bicycle, so long as it remains human powered.
  
This achievement is awarded to the geohasher who has traveled the largest difference in elevation between their starting point and the hash point entirely under human power (i.e. you have to CLIMB it).  The travel can be walking, running, cycling, rock climbing, skiing (uphill!), snowshoeing, etc., but it must be unassisted by any non-human means--no hidden motors on your bike.
+
The achievement is split into various subdivisions with increasing difficulty. These distances refer to your total elevation gain. This means that if you climb from 0m to 400m, descend to 100m, and then climb to 300m, you have a total elevation gain of 600m. This is different to the change in elevation between start and end points, which in this case would be 300m.
  
The most likely proof would be a GPS track and/or a picture of the GPS at your lowest and highest elevation positions between the start and the hash point.
+
The elevation gain considers the entirety of your expedition, not just one direction. This means that if you carried out the above example both forwards and in reverse, you would have a total elevation gain of 600m + the additional 300m from journeying back. Simply put, any distance you climb via human power during your entire expedition counts. Any portion of the expedition using non-human power cannot be counted towards this total, however this does not invalidate the achievement.

This is a proposal made on 2010-08-29. Please leave comments and suggestions on Talk:Climb achievement, indicating your thoughts on the proposal, including:
  • Support - you think this proposal should be added with zero or minor changes
  • Do not oppose - you think it's boring/meh/not for you, but it wouldn't harm to have it created
  • Oppose - you have a specific reason as to why this ribbon should not exist (state this reasoning in your comment)
  • Needs work - you think the achievement should be created after more significant changes have been made

See Proposed achievements for more information on this process.

This achievement can be claimed when you reach a geohash after climbing a certain distance via human power. This climb can be walking, running, cycling, rock-climbing, skiing, snowshoeing, etc., but it must be unassisted by any non-human means, so no hidden motors on your bike. It can be assisted by other humans, such as a tandem bicycle, so long as it remains human powered.

The achievement is split into various subdivisions with increasing difficulty. These distances refer to your total elevation gain. This means that if you climb from 0m to 400m, descend to 100m, and then climb to 300m, you have a total elevation gain of 600m. This is different to the change in elevation between start and end points, which in this case would be 300m.

The elevation gain considers the entirety of your expedition, not just one direction. This means that if you carried out the above example both forwards and in reverse, you would have a total elevation gain of 600m + the additional 300m from journeying back. Simply put, any distance you climb via human power during your entire expedition counts. Any portion of the expedition using non-human power cannot be counted towards this total, however this does not invalidate the achievement.

Proof

Standard expedition proof is necessary upon reaching the geohash. Additional proof consists of a mapping tool or GPS track showing the route you took with the elevation gain. To calculate this, it may be beneficial to use BRouter.

Subdivisions

The achievement ribbon will ask you to input your elevation gain and will then place the appropriate category onto your ribbon for you. The categories are the following:

  • 0m - Small Climb
  • 300m - Large Climb
  • 500m - Great Climb
  • 750m - Huge Climb
  • 1000m - Massive Climb
  • 2500m - Colossal Climb

The ribbon will display the category that best fits your input.

Winners

The following is a table of people who have claimed this achievement. You should add yourself to this table once you earn the achievement.
