125 Climbs, 22 mile run, 0 sleep all in 24hrs! Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker did...
The first in the G-SHOCK 'Never Give Up' series of documentaries follows crack climbers Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker as they attempt 125 climbs, 22 mile run and 0 sleep all in 24hrs.
Having trained their bodies for years, the two elite climbers have tackled some of the hardest climbs on the planet, specialising in a painful style known as crack climbing. Nicknamed the ‘WideBoyz’ for their skills in ‘off-width’ crack climbing - one of the most difficult types of cracks to master, the duo are constantly on the lookout for new challenges.

Brits have always kicked ass, now they're training....no fair! They should be required to resume their historic handicap of copious ale and a fish and chips diet..

Nice! There are some other pretty compelling story's on that link. I don't even wear watches but now I want one of those Casio G-spots. Donini, you and Beckey should be sponsored by those guys, you just keep on ticking like that watch and are still outclimbing most guys their age.
The theme would be "Things That Last"

J-Do is right; at least in the past we had a level playing field, the Brits and us, what with their total lack of training and prodigious apres-climb engagements. Now we have a problem.

Are the "climbs" in those photos even 30 feet high?

G-spot?
I often thought of contacting them. From the mid-80's til mid 90's my G-Shock withstood everything.
130f in Saudi.
-100 (windchill)in Prudhoe Bay.
130 ft underwater in Red Sea.
14,000+ ft on Peaks
Banged, beaten and bruised, it kept perfect time.
I finally got tired of replacing the wristbands!!
