Three Mountains. One World Record. Sixty Days.
Some records are about speed. Some are about strength.
This one is about what happens when you refuse to stop climbing.
Project Climb Higher is my next world record attempt and a mission that reaches far beyond a summit photo.
Project Climb Higher
Three peaks in sixty days with one goal, to rewrite what is possible for mothers, families, and anyone who has ever heard the words not yet.
I am Jenn Drummond, a world record mountaineer and mother of seven.
With Project Climb Higher I am attempting a new Guinness World Record that completes my journey of climbing the highest and second highest peaks on every continent.
This is the final chapter.
The last three mountains.
The boldest timeline yet.
THE MISSION
Discover the power of a second attempt.
In a single sixty day window I will climb three serious mountains, each chosen for what it represents in the story, not only for the elevation on a map.
MONT BLANC Ski Ascent 4,809 meters 15,781 feet
Often called the roof of Western Europe, Mont Blanc is the momentum builder. It is where the record begins and where belief locks in.
This climb is also deeply personal. Three of my sons are roped in with me. It is a rite of passage for them, and a legacy climb for our family.
MOUNT ELBRUS
Ski Ascent
5,642 meters 18,510 feet
Depending on how you draw the line between Europe and Asia, some people say Mont Blanc is the highest, others say Elbrus. I decided to remove the debate and climb both.
Elbrus is the clarification summit. It is about choosing the harder answer when the easy one would technically count, and showing what it looks like to hold yourself to a higher standard.
DENALI
Self Guided Expedition
6,190 meters 20,310 feet
Denali is the final mountain in Project Climb Higher and it is a redemption climb.
On my last attempt, the mountain said not yet. Weather, conditions, and circumstance stacked up and we made the hard call to turn around.
This time I return with new preparation, new strategy, and the same unshakable respect. Denali is not just a geographical summit. It is the place where I answer no longer with presence, patience, and resolve.
WHY THIS RECORD MATTERS
This project is more than a physical challenge. It is a statement.
That failure is feedback, not a finish line. That rewriting the rules often takes a second try. That the climb after the setback is the one that truly defines you.
Project Climb Higher is for anyone whose story does not feel finished yet. Every step, every storm, every pivot is a live example of what it means to keep going when the first attempt did not go as planned.
THE CAUSE MOUNTAIN MAMAS
You cannot raise resilient kids without resourced mothers.
Mountain Mamas is a nonprofit that helps women reconnect with the outdoors after having children. They provide gear, guided experiences, and community so that moms feel strong, confident, and capable on real trails again.
Because when moms get outside, kids follow. When kids see their mom on a mountain, their idea of what is normal changes forever.
This partnership matters to me because
• I am a mom of seven
• I know how easy it is to put yourself last
• I have seen how adventure changes the culture of a family
Every climb in Project Climb Higher shines a light on what becomes possible when women are given access, encouragement, and support.
This is not only about world records. It is about raising a generation that sees strong, capable women leading from the front.
