On March the 1st I'll be doing the UK's first Vertical Mile tower climbing attempt for Shelter, the homeless charity, during their Vertical Rush event at Tower 42 in London.

By taking part nine times in succession I'll cover 378 floors, 8,280 steps and a total of 5,310 feet; vertically! I plan to finish 1km in under an hour to set an Official Guinness World Record along the way.

I'd adore it if you were to sponsor me via http://www.justgiving.com/VerticalMile or https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MarathonAndOn - Thanks!

More info about the event: Vertical Rush 2012 and video of my 2011 climb is on YouTube: The Ascent of Man - Vertical Rush 2011 Tower Run for Shelter.

After it, and to keep this thread vaguely caching related, I'm holding an a cache meet in London, close to Tower 42:
