Sounds like a pretty epic undertaking. Though it could so easily of gone horribly wrong, I think I'd of bottled it if all I had to eat was a digestive biscuit and a fist full of snow. Good to see the mass media taking an interest.
In reply to ourkid: Both the BBC and the Guardian - and I'm pretty sure a few others such as the Telegraph - reported it at the time, but you're right that it is good to see some more detailed coverage outside of the climbing press.
