WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT IRONHIKE.

"As for IronHike, it was what I considered a perfect opportunity. It provided a beautiful venue, well organized, and all the opportunities I needed to make it a perfect suck."

Dan. IronHike Denali Finisher.

"The experience of this event from start to finish leaves participants with a shared identity of grit, perseverance, and a sense of brotherhood."

Paul. IronHike Mountain Athlete.

"I loved the simplicity of it. Climb up, climb down and repeat. It sounds so simple but the difficulty lies within yourself. Nothing is a better test than trying to beat your mental demons."

Michelle. IronHike Kuwohi Finisher.

The mountain does not know your name yet. It will. The only question is which summit is yours this fall.
