We're going for 30, plus the dump. Like everyone else on this thread, I am 100% certain that we will suceed. The problem is, I recognise that probably only 10% (or less) of people that try to climb for 30 will suceed. Let's be honest here, climbing is so dificult and unknown a task that even experienced teams who are fully dedicated to it are not guarenteed to suceed.

I think people fail to recognise that this year shooting is easy enough that a shooter can outscore a climber in many circumstances. If I beleive this, then why are we going for 30? Because a semi-guarenteed 50 points per match in quals is extremely attractive, and, well, if we succeed, it will be awesome.
