In reply to smithaldo:
First off, sorry to hear about your daughter and well done for doing something to raise support. No, we don't know each other but this random internet stranger wishes you well.
Second, I'd suggest not getting too fixated on doing this challenge at Stanage or any other crag. Weather, conditions and a host of other factors can piss on your chips, and it would be a real shame if that happened. Plus, not everyone that might wish to help is a climber. So, to get round this, retitle the event.
Everest for Elsie: by any means. As well as climbers you can bring in walkers going up hills, cyclists, people walking up stairs in their workplace, anything at all as long as the distance climbed can be measured and it's done by people not cars, planes, hot air balloons or similar. People can contribute their efforts whenever they can, but aim to bring things to a head one weekend where lots of people do lots of things. You might get one Everest, or you might get one and a bit, or two, by extending the types of ways, and hence types of people, that can contribute.
The more the merrier, I think. Someone will need to coordinate but anyone who's reasonably well organised and has a life that revolves around lists or spreadsheets could do it. A bit of PR might spread the word more widely too.
Just some thoughts. Best wishes with this.
T.
