A bit less than 11000m (cumulative) elevation gain. Mission accomplished :)
Update #5
vor 11 Monaten
Due to the constant challenging weather conditions, I'll be doing the elevation gain counting multiple activities instead of a single activity. After the 1st week of December I've totaled about 5000m of positive elevation.

Warum ich mich für «Wo es am nötigsten ist» einsetze
The idea is to do an Everesting (plus any other extra elevation gain) during December 2023 and donate (myself) 10 CHF/EUR per 1000m of elevation gain to Caritas, helping to fight against poverty.
The concept of Everesting is simple: Pick any hill, anywhere in the world and complete repeats of it in a single activity until you climb 8,848m – the equivalent height of Mt Everest.
According to recent data, 1.1 billion (out of 6.1 billion people - just over 18%) live in acute poverty across 110 countries. More info here https://hdr.undp.org/content/2023-global-multidimensional-poverty-index-mpi#/indicies/MPI
Caritas prevents, alleviates and fights against poverty in Switzerland and worldwide in around 20 countries. https://www.caritas.ch/en/about-us/

If you identify yourself with this cause and want to contribute, any donations, no matter the value, are very much welcome.
Thank you so much.
