Sunday 21st June

Climb Everest.
One rope. One city.

At sunrise on 21st June, the Team Everest Challenge begins. One person at a time will climb a single 5 metre rope, with every successful ascent counted towards one huge shared goal: climbing the full height of Mount Everest.

That means 8,848 metres to cover and 1,770 full rope climbs to complete. This is not just for ticket holders or athletes - anyone can join in. Members, spectators, families, friends and the wider city are all invited to contribute to the climb.

The goal is simple: get Bath involved in one big mission and keep climbing until we reach the summit. Every metre climbed also helps raise money for The Cali Foundation, helping us create more free strength, movement and community opportunities for youth across the city.

Everyone Can join the mission
City-wide fundraiser This is one huge public challenge to get Bath climbing together. You do not need a ticket to take part in the rope climb - just show up, get involved and help us reach the summit.

Brought To You By CaliUnity

Built by the team behind Bath’s first free calisthenics park.

CaliFest is being brought to life by the people behind CaliUnity, the Yard, and some of Bath’s most community-driven movement projects. This is not our first big idea — it’s the next chapter.

Cali Yard opening and community event
Why this is real

We’ve already built what most people only talk about.

We didn’t just open a gym. We built Bath’s first free calisthenics park, created real community momentum, delivered events, raised money for local causes, and proved that people in this city want more movement, more connection and more experiences that actually mean something.

CaliFest is not a random one-off. It’s what happens when that same energy gets turned into a full weekend — bigger guests, bigger crowds, bigger partnerships and bigger impact.

Recognition

Bath’s best health & wellbeing business

Backed by real community support, local recognition and momentum in Bath — not just a nice-looking idea online.

Community

Real people. Real events. Real turnout.

From packed classes and Yard sessions to community-led initiatives and outdoor events, we’ve already shown we can bring people together.
