The Summit began as a humble gathering of eight men searching for a meaningful showcase of their talent and an opportunity to test their abilities against a handful of the best in the world. Never about the money, The Summit, and its crown jewel, the SMC, is about the thrill of victory in the face of overwhelming odds! Like the Spartans at Thermopylae, each warrior strides into battle knowing full well that, once the smoke clears, only one survivor will emerge from the carnage. It is this shot at glory and the chance to prove oneself under these most brutal of battle conditions that drives us onward.
