I'm just about keeping pace with my daily quota required to exceed the goal of 8,848 metres of climb by end of March. To prove this to myself and the world, my inner geek has constructed the following chart.
This shows the accumulating target (300m per day) and actual climb in a “worm” format and the crazy up and down line that is my highly variable achievement in any given day. I'll update this progress chart regularly.
I’ve also plotted the various destinations along the route to the summit of Everest which I’ll be posting about as we get there. Since I’ve yet to "reach the ground" on Lukla this post is a filler to try and paper over that crack. For the visually appreciative this is done in the bright colours you see everywhere in the mountain villages.
My plan has been to start strong and give myself some ability to rest or miss out a day for some reason, which happened at the end of last week. the first part of this week will be maintenance of the bare 300/day target, later in the week I'm going bush so expect to see a sharper increase then.
Assuming I don't lose motivation. You can help me with that by donating to my campaign here.
Thanks a lot for reading!
