did you see the post by Frail.K? He said he is attempting Everesting for charity, he went out and tried it, end of story, no false hype, poor preparation and other nonsense. I was happy for you at first, now just indifferent. Good luck anyways!

i think you're being a bit unfair, especially since the other guy you mention had a bit of a big planning fail when it came tor hill selection/data interpretation.

 

the oke has done 2 half everests at PACE.

that's anything but poor preparation

This oke has a KOM near me that I tried to take a while back. I came close                        to dying and still failed. I don't think I will ever try that again.

which KOM is that N?

I tried Google but came up short.... Has anyone ever Everested on foot in 24 hours?

 

:offtopic:

 

I figure you'll need a ski-lift to attempt that. Or will that be flouting the rules?

Here is a formula my old man taught me when I was young.

 

Actions divided by words equals respect.

 

The more you do and the less you say the more respect you will get.

I have a 390m ascent mountain path behind my house. I went up there today and wondered if anyone had ever done a sub 24 hour Everest on foot.... 23 ascents and 23 descents.... 62 minutes per ascent/descent... 

 

It seems feasible but there is very little fat or margin for error. Might need a better man than me to pull it off. 

 

Maybe after MacMac.

From just around the corner of the clubs new start/finish to somewhere just before holy rosary. I am not sure of the exact start and finish points. You need to hope the robot by the Afrikaans school field is green with any hope of getting it.

I see not many of them in under 24 hours.

only 32 everestings on foot

17 under 24 hours

28 under 30hours.

In my mind you need something similar than you want for the attempt on a bicycle: Very Steep and long with a quick descent. 

 

Maybe something with a cablecar or zipline to ride you to the bottom with basically zero effort, as it is on a bike.

 

Maybe partner with TableMountain to sponsor you the rides down and give them publicity in the process....
