T5: Opening Day Attempt
Details
This is it — the first official attempt of the T5: Tahoe Five Peaks. Fifty miles. Five summits. 13,000+ feet of gain. One continuous push around the Tahoe Basin.
If you’ve been training, watching from the sidelines, or waiting for the right moment to jump in… this is your moment.
The founders of Blisterpop will be making the first attempt on opening day and invite you to join us!
Requires separate registration at[ www.tahoe5peaks.com](https://www.tahoe5peaks.com)
### ⏰ Start Time
12:00 a.m. at Mt. Rose Trailhead (midnight to midnight)
### 📍 What We’re Doing
We’re attempting the full, official T5 format:
- Mt. Rose
- Granite Chief
- Mt. Tallac
- Freel Peak
- Genoa Peak
All in one calendar day. All self‑supported or with a support driver. All documented for the official T5 Completion Board.
This is one of the hardest single‑day hiking challenges in America — and one of the most meaningful.
### 🎧 Online Info Session (Highly Recommended)
Before the attempt, we’re hosting a live online session covering:
• Full route breakdown • Gear + hydration strategy • Pacing and time management • Safety systems • How to prep from Sacramento • Q&A for anyone considering the attempt
This session is designed to set you up for success — whether you’re aiming to complete the full T5 or join for select peaks.
### Who This Is For
• Hikers with strong fitness • People who want a big day, not just a long one • Anyone who wants to test their limits in a supportive community • First‑timers who want to learn the T5 system • Veterans of big days who want to push into something mythic
### What to Expect
• A mission‑driven group • Clear logistics • Shared pacing strategies • Real‑time decision‑making • A day you’ll talk about for years • A story you’ll earn, not just complete
### Difficulty
This is a very hard challenge. Not technical — but long, exposed, and cumulative. We’ll talk through all risk factors in the info session.
### Your Next Step
RSVP here. Join the online session. Dial in your gear. And get ready for a day that will change how you see Tahoe — and yourself.
Epic is only a day away.
