While waiting for confirmation of all ascents ticked by participants, it appears that only a minority of them (4 out of 11) have managed to complete their 100 climbs but climbers have already raised a significant amount of more than $2500.

The challenge was fun and has pushed some climbers to a higher level of intensity and even enabled some to achieve new personal bests. There has been good camaraderie with participants getting to know each other better along the way and helping one another to achieve their goals.


A presentation/rewarding night will be announced shortly on this page. Keep an eye!

It has NOT been easy for most climbers who often had to wake up at stupid hours and/or climb in extreme hot weather. While some forced themselves to climb despite sickness, others finished climbing at night with head torches!  Along the way, some got bitten by ticks, attacked by bees, bitten by millions of mosquitoes and even threatened by tiger snakes! One freaked out after his only protection fell off, at least 2 others took some serious falls, a few scared themselves on precarious runouts (section of a route with little protection placement) while too many injured themselves (a knee, an ankle, a wrist and lots of finger tips).

The t-shirts and tank tops have been handed out to most participants who are already in the Albany area ready for their 1st climb on the 1st of January 2010. Only 2 days before the challenge starts! Keep an eye on the website to follow their progress.
