The event, which was organised by the Jersey Cancer Trust, involved abseiling down the 100-ft high walls of Cyril Le Marquand House in front of hundreds of supporters and spectators who were watching below.
A team from Jersey Fire and Rescue started off the challenge at 9.30 am.
Members of St Catherine’s lifeboat crew wore their full rescue gear when it came to their turn, while some children wore fancy dress.
Also braving the height to complete the exercise were some patients currently receiving treatment for cancer, and nurses working in that field.
