Tell me Marty, have you ever taken up a personal challenge, one where
others had tried and failed yet you were convinced that you could
succeed?

Sure, but not one where failure is probably going to endanger the lives
of others trying to rescue me. Besides, it has been done, both ways, now
he's just trying to set a record. That's fine, but there ought to be
some sort of stipulation that he's on his own or is willing, and has the
financial wherewithal to pay for search and rescue operation required to
bail his ass out if things go pear shaped.
