“I am 52 years old, live and work in Sydney, Australia, and I have very recently discovered the Treadwall in our Gym. I have been beavering away at my Everest challenge since the end of January 2001 and here I am exactly 2 months later at the top, much to my delight. The wall started out as a curiosity, however rapidly developed into a bit of an addiction when I realised that there was a good chance I could make the climb in a reasonable number of days.”
