Everest is 8848 m (or 8850, according to recent surveys?), so it's still a bit to go.
Unless you're talking about a very tall guy named everest... Wink

Oh, yeah! Ropelength:
3*60 + 7017 = 7197

A friend of mine (I'm sure he'd join a projekt like this Tongue) got 3 single ropes, 2 sets of double rope, all at 60 m, plus a 100 m static line, lesse...
7*60+100 = 520 m

520 + 7197 = 7717 m

That's just the peak elevation, not how far it is from top to base camp.

I'm going to have to say no...

Based on my calculations, we've been growing at 119m/hour since the thread has started.

At that rate it will take us 134,803.92 days to reach the moon.

I have 180m, and could borrow another 220m, for another 400m. So:

8577m + 400m = 8977

couldn't you just contact all the major rope mfg, fine out how much they're prodcuced in the last two years, (wouldn't want to rappel in space on rope older than that I think) and then we'd know if this is a futile effort or not.
