Waldy Challenge 2026 - February - Climbing

Time to start building our climbing legs for the season.

How many vertical meters can you cover in total during the 28 days of February?

Here are the available points for climbing the equivalent of these famous routes:

Lagos de Covadonga   @ 1113m 1pt

Col du Galibier @ 2642m 2pts

Nevado de Toluca @ 4100m 3pts

Khardung La   @ 5359m 4pts

There is a bonus point for the 1 man and 1 woman with the most total meters climbed in the month.

A maximum of 5 points can be obtained for outdoor rides.

By popular demand we’re also going to run an indoor challenge in January, February and March. Each month if you don’t want to claim points for outdoor riding you can claim them for time spent riding indoors as below:

10 hours of riding 1pt

16 hours of riding 2pts

24 hours of riding 3pts

30 hours of riding 4pts

There are no monthly bonus points for indoor riding and points can only be claimed if not calming outdoor points.

Also don’t forget to claim your bonus points for things like 1st Sportive or 100k Solo Ride. Bonus points claimed are on an honesty basis and input into the google spreadsheet via the website. Navigate to the Waldy Challenge page and in the middle right of the page, press add bonuses; you will then be taken to the google sheet. 

Get in touch with your challenge master Luke Phillips if you need help entering your scores or want to query any levels.
