Maximum Pace

One of my goals for this year is to Everest a climb. This involves climbing ascending and descending the same climb numerous times to achieve an total elevation gain of 8848m (the height of Mt.Everest). I've decided that my first everesting attempt will be on the well known Shiraishi toge climb. At the moment I don't have any firm plans or dates but I would like to see if anyone is interested in making an attempt with me. I couldn't think of anything more boring than doing it by myself (apart from running on a treadmill) so the more the merrier. The good thing about this attempt is that you can do it at your own pace. The climb is 6.4km with an elevation gain of 538m (av 8.4% gradient) which means the climb must be done 17 times. Let me know if you are interested in participating in this slight madness with me.
Oh and thanks to @Musashi13 for the links to the everesting calculators.
