What is the Million Metre Challenge?


Picture
The Million Metre Challenge is a unique community initiative which is is linked to our Ten Thousand Metre Challenge and Highpointeer of the Year awards competition.

The aim of the challenge is for our registered Ten Thousand Metre Challengers to collectively visit 1,000,000 vertical metres worth of Gribbon locations during the calendar year (1st January to 31st December). Please note that all total figures in this challenge are related to location elevations and do not reflect the actual amount of ascent undertaken by challengers.
