My walk in to the Cuillin took 3 months, and this only after about 30 years of self imposed restraint, on the basis that merely driving there to 'do' it was profanity, and that I must wait until a suitably fitting trip could do it justice.
In old age, you and I might look back on our adventures, mining the rich seam.
By contrast, someone in need of a paint dauber to make their 'personal challenge' reliably achievable will probably barely register that it was 'done', sitting as it probably does, alongside their other personal challenges like the 3 peaks car-athon , Everest Base Camp, Machu picchu and feckin Kilimanjaro.
