Sofa to summit
Sofa to summit
Get your slippers on and climb the height of your chosen mountain at home.
The average flight stairs = 2.6m - using this as the basis for calculations:
SCAFELL PIKE 978m = 376 flights
SNOWDON 1085m = 417 flights
BEN NEVIS 1345m = 517 flights
MATTERHORN 4478m = 1722 flights
ELBRUS 5642m = 2170 flights
EVEREST 8848m = 3403 flights
If your stairs are not an average flight of stairs you will need to some calculations of your own:
To calculate how many of your own stairs need to be ascended, measure the vertical height of a single stair from its base to its top. Take the height of your chosen mountain and divide it by the height of your stair. That will give you the number of stairs you need to clamber up to reach the summit.
You could also measure the depth of each step, work out the gradient of your ascent and compare it to that of your chosen mountain!
What do you hand in on Google Classroom?
A document (Google Slide or Google doc) full of photos of you completing your challenge.
Detailed, geographical research about the mountain you chose to ascend the height of.
If you want even more of a challenge why not include rucksack lifts, squats and lunges by doing the full sofa to summit workout (check it out below)!

photos of you completing your walk.
AN ARTFUL ROUTE
AN ARTFUL ROUTE
Use MapMyRun to draw a geographic feature or landmark or write a geographic word.
1. PLAN YOUR DESIGN AND LOG INTO MAPMYRUN
On MapMyRun, click the 'Routes' tab and find 'Create Route'. Choose a location to create your design, and start with the area you want to run or walk.
You must plan your route ahead of time, winging it isn't going to work for this challenge!
Try not to cross busy roads if you can, be safe.
2. MAP YOUR DESIGN
If you can dream it, you can draw it.
3. RUN OR WALK YOUR ROUTE
Click “Send to Phone” on your MapMyRun route page and download the map and directions straight onto your phone.
Take photos on your route.
4. SHARE THE IMAGE YOU DESIGNED
Route art is a great way to get everyone involved — why not try challenging your friends to walk or run your route or to design their own masterpieces for both of you to try.
