Very impressive climbing achievement over 19 days.
I once tried climbing as a "swap" of interests. I remember the sheer terror when you peel off and freefall till the rope saves you.
On Tv they showed you their sleeping arrangements but you never saw the bathroom (shower,toilet and bidet). How did they carry out natures functions with the worlds press watching? As far as meals are concerned presumably they were lowered on ropes.

I love rock climbing, but I'm too comfortably built* to be able to do it well. I find bungee jumping is a lot less effort and more in keeping with my 17.5 stone bulk...

Climbing stuff and jumping/falling off things gives me the willies big time!! :o
I was in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe where there is a 90ish metre bungee jump off the bridge over the Zambezi, and I'd never done it or wanted to. :-\ One afternoon my mate said "Lets go and have a few beers and watch the bungee jumpers". :) On the way we saw some others that we knew heading the same way and I got suspicious and legged it! ::) Turns out the bastard had booked me in and invited everyone we knew for a bit of peer pressure!! >:( ::) ;D
What a pussy! :D :( My mate ened up taking my slot and did the jump himself! :y
