        susan, you best not wear that on everest! brrrrrr

        carole, good to see you climbing on up!

        okay, if you've read my other posts for this day, you can see that spreadsheets were lost. some don't matter much but the pledging flights chart had ALOT of valuable information on it. i can reproduce it but it will take some time and time is in short demand right now.
        so again, as with the other challenges, keep your numbers and keep posting when you finish a climb. i'll be able to sift through the thread at some point and get things back in some kind of orderly fashion.

        an update for me:
        i am at 965 flights, working up to base camp 1050

                  Not far to the top Carole!

                  I'm at base camp 4 now and hopping off to climb a building or two (still deciding what).

                    i have begun re-doing the spreadsheet for this challenge. there are a mess of posts in this thread!!! and alot of silly, good and inspiring converstations. the computer breakdown might have been a blessing in disguise since it got me to look back over all the posts. i hope to not miss any of the accomplishments but with so many posts, it's probably going to happen. i'll work that out in the end some kind of way. the important thing is that anyone who finished a set, get the award for the finished work.

                    sal, good cllimbing to be at base camp! i'm there now, too. i will be heading over to the CN Tower and get a few flights done there while susan makes her way up to base camp.

I just got started with the stair climber yesterday and climbed 100 flights and today I climbed 117 flights so I guess that equates to 3,255 steps so looks like I'm off to a good start. But boy was I sweaty!!!!
                            how in the world this got missed by EVERYONE is beyond me.

                            Boxer, if you're reading this, i am so embarrassed and ashamed that your post got looked over.

                            i don't want you losing any of the flights you did so i'm adding these to your finished climbs:

                              i have gone through the entire thread. how many spelling errors did jimmiejo make??? too many to count!!!

                              the numbers i've charted this time around are off from the original, as posted in the anniversary thread. challengers choice is exact and a couple others are close, the difference being the added numbers since april 22. the mountains are way off and i'll try to fix that without going back through the thread again... once is enough.


                              editing for an update:
                              i'm at the 1050 everest base camp {1050/3871} and am doing a short sidetrip to cn tower, currently 4/233

                                How on earth did you manage to go through the entire thread Jimmie??? Wow!
                                Nice to have company at base camp before we both slipped off to other climbs.
                                I think I might just join Jack over on Mont Blanc... seeing as I get the total flights for that posted in your post above and don't have to hop around looking for a climb. Now that's what I call lazy!

                                We'll all join up for supper with Susan pretty soon!

                                Belated, but very warm welcome to you BoxerLoverBaby!
