How you manage the climb can be quite an individual challenge too.
Picking an incline I've traversed a few times in trail running events, up to highcliff nab near guidsborough which is about 170m climb over ~800m distance, you'd need to go up and down 56 times which I think is eminently doable (though far from easy) between sleep periods. I'd need a few leg rest breaks! While I'm certain I could physically do it, whether I could face the idea of actually doing it is another matter: endurance challenges can be a mental game as much as a physical one.
If you skip the steepest part and do between the bottom and the track to Sutton that is ~100m height over ~550m distance, I think that would actually be more manageable though you miss out on the view from the top each time.
Depending on your training for climb you might find it much easier to do a less steep incline, climbing the same amount over a longer distance possibly in a similar time, though for an Everesting challenge going steep feels more right.
I'm thinking about this too much. I might be in danger of setting myself up for an Everesting challenge. I wonder how many times I'd have to go up & down the hill up to the local University…

Edit: hmm, that little hill is only 14m over 500m apparently. I'd have to cover 632Km and the longest I've ever done in one go is 129 (80 miles), that with just ~800m total ascent. Maybe this is not nearly as do as doable as I first thought! Maybe I'd do better going shorter & steeper. When the lungs have recorded from what covid did to them I might have to try train myself up for it.
