I ran into him at Fantastic Pit the last time I was there. He had just done it 6 or 8 times, I forget which. After he told us what he was doing, he was kind enough to derig and let us use the main rig point. He left his rope and what not and came back the next day to do it again. dude has legs of steele.
This guy is 60ish, very wiry, missing some teeth, right?

He had planned on a Mile of prusiking but unfortunately Rob chose a very wet weekend in the Peak and conditions were very wet! Rob still managed to last 7 hours on a rope and prusik 1,630 metres/5,347 feet!

That certainly is a feather in your hat, but why? Is he trying for a record, or raising money, or does he just like to climb rope THAT much?
