Well - We reckoned if we didn't die, we could do it in ten hours...so the plan is to get 3 pairs. Myself and Dougie will do this climb, and the other folks will do some easier climbs...there are a few 15m climbs at 5 and 5+, so we should be able to do it.

The climbing centre staff are up for supporting us as well, so we may even be able to grab a few of them to belay, which could mean six of us up the wall at a time...again reducing the elapsed time.

If it's any consolation, they too think we are mad - especially as I'll have a month to recover before the marathon.
