We're at Craggy Island, Paul and Robin are about half an hour into their second shift of routes. Last night we did the maths to find out exactly how far they've already climbed, and how far they have to go today. By popular request the the "Everest Chart" has been updated to see where we are.
The breakdown today is there are 7240m to go, the guys are doing laps on a 7m slab and aiming for around 500 each to get the bulk done, then for the finale they'll switch to a 10m vertical wall for the final routes. They're off to a flying start this morning but, as ever, progress slows through the day as they burn off their fried breakfasts and start pushing into energy reserves that, by this stage, they don't have left.
Here's a quick video diary from Robin filmed in their morning break, we'll keep you posted later!
