Completed Tokoyo Tower 2182 steps 145 flights! This was a kind of defacto climb, just doing the stairs in my house that i have 2 climb anyway. i was sick for awhile and had a relapse, now i'm midway through the second run of antibiotics. So without much effort i've completed this tower altho it took a looong time, can't wait to back to my prvious activity level.

Now climbing Millau Viduct, France 2244 steps 150 flights >>> 6/150 fl as of Wednesday.

Happy climbing everyone!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

thanks sal. i'm always blown away when i add finished climbs and see how far we've come. it's so second nature now to drop those pennies in the basket that i feel very odd if i pass it by because my hand are full or i'm out of pennies.

i did make it to base camp 600 tonight. till i see you get here, i'll add some flights to my mont blanc total.
