PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Looks like I'll be breezing into the last base camp of Kili sometime today... are you with me Jimmie? Then a last push to the top!

After we reach the summit, I'll be taking a brief pause in climbing (or rather from counting the flights)... Got a work situation happening just after Easter, so will be distracted. Will be back though. Don't think it'll take long for climbing withdrawal symptoms to set in!

i'm right there with you, sal. no rest for the weary.... we'll make our push towards summit tomorrow.

don't be away too long, i've gotten very use to you being here with me/us.

Felt pretty good and knocked out the Opera House also....
completed Millenium Dome 3/17 and had 100 steps leftover to go towards the Opera House and finished up the Opera House 3/18 with 75 steps leftover, so starting on the Clifton Suspension Bridge, England

(this is kind of fun because I know in real life I would never get to do this kind of stuff)

Right... onward to the summit!!! That last was the fastest "pit stop" yet!

Don't worry jimmie... I'll be back to climbing after the 11th of April, once I get rid of all the people from the London office who plan to invade Umbria!!

my totals:
kilimanjaro

mont blanc
1141/2028

myjack's total:
mont blanc
1959/2028


i'm pretty proud of jack. when he started this bigger climb, i was figuring him to not care and not keep up. it's taking him some time to get to get to summit mont blanc but he is nearly there.
