WELCOME TO THE ORDER OF THE AOUDAD

An Ultra Mountain Challenge

ABOUT

An Ultra Mountain Challenge

The Order of the Aoudad is a unique challenge where the emphasis is on vertical gain and self sufficiency rather than distance or speed.
This is a select group within which the members have shown that they can move in the mountains, but do not need to be mountaineers per se. This group is geared towards ultrarunners, fast packers, and ultra endurance mountain hikers.

The mountain climber does not want simply to reach the peak, he wants to reach it by climbing. The toil of climbing does not gratify him immediately; it involves the disutility of labor. But it is precisely overcoming the disutility of labor that satisfies him. A less exerting ascent would please him not better, but less.

Ludwig von Mises
