Bath, the former managing director of Bath Travel, became involved in the climb following a reverse auction at this year’s ITT Conference.
Endacott, the chair of Teletext Holidays, was hoping to raise the profile of the endeavor at the event in Ras Al Khaimah by getting delegates to accept a nomination to climb or pay £500 to pass the trip onto someone else.
“At the time I had no idea what I was getting into and just how demanding a challenge it was going to be. I can honestly say I have never attempted anything as physically and mentally exhausting in my life," Bath said.
