Well done on an epic ride guys! That is amazing - and on quite a long climb too. 15 times up that pass must have been quite a workout!

So once a hill has been Everested, it cannot be used again by someone else?

 

It can, it's just not in the spirit of the challenge.  Snippet taken from the Everesting rules:

 

– The first Everesting ride for each climb will be signified by ‘First’ on the hall of fame (or First* if you Everested at the same time as more than one other rider). Copied a ride that someone else has done? It absolutely still counts in the hall of fame. Everesting is tough whichever way you look at it, although in the spirit of adventure why not seek something uncharted and stamp your name on the side of it?

Ah I see. At some point it’ll be hard to get the “firsts”. Respect to all that have done it nonetheless.
