AN INVITATION TO THE TAIWAN HUNDRED PEAKS TW100 CHALLENGE 挑戰百岳
Milestones are an excellent way to track goals. They keep us motivated. Prizes are a tangible way to prove we were successful in accomplishing something. Our dreams must be more than milestones.
At Adventures Unlimited, we do set targets and milestones. Be it the Malaysia G7 or the dual pilgrimage status, we want each member to believe that nothing is impossible if they set their minds upon it.
When you are looking for the kind of adventure that refreshes your soul with the perfect combination of forest cover and altitude, the majestic peaks of Taiwan is the real deal. This adventure is all about experiencing and conquering the Baiyue (百岳) which is a set of 100 mountain peaks of Taiwan.
There are over 260 mountain peaks over 3,000m in Taiwan, but the Baiyue (百岳) is the unique and daring set of 100 peaks that every adventurer should experience. To take on this challenge, several trails have been made over time.
There is a seriousness about these treks that is personally attractive for us.
Could the TW100 series take years to complete?
Maybe.
Will it be tough?
Absolutely. But you can do it.
We invite you to come join us and let’s earn this prize together.

The Holy Ridge Trail (Shengleng Trail, also called "Saint Trail"), connecting Main Peak of Xueshan and Dabajian Mountain, is over 3,100 meters, even over 3,580 meters between Main Peak and North Peak of Xueshan. There are many jagged, rugged rocks and steep, cliffy escarpments along the trail. Those who love mountain climbing have to overcome all difficulties with feat and trepidation, then able to finish this significant ridge. As an old saying in the mountain climbing realm goes, “those who finish Shengleng Trail (Holy Ridge Trail) are qualified to get married.” It means only when a young man breaks through all difficulties along this trail can he shoulder the responsibility of having a family.
Shengleng Trail (Holy Ridge Trail) was first described in an article written by a Japanese climber in 1928 and was named after the publication of the article. Moreover, it was first conquered in 1931 by a team of mountaineers with the help of ropes.
Level of difficulty: 4/5

Going to the mountain peaks is not only about conquering or competing, but it is also more about the personal challenge of finding yourself at the position of going one step further than you have ever gone before. It is about the new feeling, and a new life opens up to you at the peak of every challenge. You not only enjoy the view, but you also have the fulfillment of another achievement and the joy of winning.
On this fantastic trip, you will have the opportunity to be alone on some parts of the trail and reconnect with the nature around you as your soul bows and receives nourishment from the very soul of the earth. You will also have the time to chat, bond and connect with other people who are going on the trip with you. There will be laughter, there will be challenges, there will be freedom, and there will be time to reflect and ponder on life afresh.
A combination of the breathtaking views, the amazing feeling of conquering peak after peak, the delicious meals, and the spirit restoring challenges; no trip can beat Taiwan peaks. This is also the best time of the year to visit as it is still mild enough to catch all the fun.
Stop allowing life to continue happening to you and dictating the pace you live it; come with us to the peaks of Taiwan and set your soul free!
「．．．為了縱走這條岩稜，需要相當於首登大霸尖山的準備。．．．這神聖的稜線啊，誰能真正地完成這大霸 尖山至雪山的縱走，戴上勝利的榮冠，述說首次完成縱走的真與美！．．．」
別再猶豫了！聖稜線，等你來挑戰！
