In case you hadn’t heard: The ‘King of the Mountain’ race is back. It was run September 30 2023 and will be back in 2024. The weight has been lowered to 60kg for men but raised to 20kg for women. Now you can challenge for the title.

Hey, well done, John! Respect! I only did the lazy climb to the top from the carpark, but would have loved to see the event. Maybe one day they’ll open it up again. Thanks for dropping by.

Hi there,

I look after WWF-Australia’s photos and would like to ask for your permission to use your photo of “view from Mt Wycheproof Summit”.
We’re preparing a social media post to promote International Mountain Day on facebook on Friday and would love to be able to use your photo.

Please feel free to contact me at jchaise@wwf.org.au
Ideally we would like a photo of the “peak” so if you have an alternative photos that you’re happy to let us use, it’d be great.
To prepare the post we will need the high res version if possible. The photo will be credited when used.

Many thanks
Julie Chaise

Hahaha! Yes, it was a VERY demanding climb – no one can accuse me of NOT suffering for my blog 😀 I just hope that next time I visit they’ve installed a chairlift to save my knees on the way down!!!

So funny. I hope you brought water with you. And your cell phone in case you got stranded on the 43-meter altitude difference. Loved this post.

OMG, a real live King of the Mountain contestant!! Thanks for dropping in, Hayden – I stand corrected, and this just proves what I’ve suspected all along – you can’t believe everything you read on the web! I’ve corrected the article with your information, and even though the wheat bag is lighter than I first thought, I’m in awe of your achievement!

I thought the bag of wheat for King of the Mountain was "only" 140 lbs (63 kg).
It was when I did the run in 1980.
7 min 45 sec.
