Inspired by Rebecca Rusch's GiddyUp For Good climbing challenge for Covid-19 relief, Payson set out to Everest on 100% high country singletrack outside his hometown of Durango, CO. With a career that usually revolves around competition and optimizing performance, a challenge that's simply about finishing got Payson out of his comfort zone and back in touch with the inner child that first fell in love with the bike. #NFTF
