No problem. However, I realized a tape measure may not work as well due to its structural instability. I believe the way 842 does it is they use a high-grip wheel to reel out the tape measure. That being said, it would be easy to extend the tape measure, but lifting ~150 lbs to the desired height would be a challenge.

If your team has the resources (I don't know because 5822 sounds like a rookie team), then I would strongly suggest to think of some other, more robust solution to the climb. Consider what teams did during 2013 Ultimate Ascent
