  • Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

    Great climbing Jack!


    Erin - this IS a great challenge; not only does it give you great exercise, as you proceed to take off more weight, it will be easier on your knees, and in better shape, you can climb more stairs without getting winded.

          I bet the sites are beautiful from up there on Mont Blonc!

          Thanks for the warm welcome ! I filled my better 1/2 in tonight about his.. ummm.. donation to a good cause! haha. He loved the idea, but I let him off easy and changed it to dimes instead of quarters.. can't have him going broke!

            Well, had a very contentious "discussion" with somebody that was trying to rip me off today. So angry I had the shakes. After hanging up, I decided to channel the energy in a positive direction, and hit the stairs. Knocked off Big Ben and the Forth Rail Bridge, and came home feeling less stressed, if a bit knackered.

              Awesome climbing Bob!! Those stairs are great "stress relievers"!!

              Jimmie... great going! You certainly left base camp a while back! I'm still lingering there fiddling with my climbing gear....

                sal, the air gets a bit thin at these high altitudes. lol


                bob! good way to channel the frustration! thanks so much for letting know how you are coming along!!!

                erin, sorry for the drop in change. but dimes work, too! do some multiplying and see what you come up when all is said and done.
                uh, let me see..... that's $1,122.30 when buildings and mountains are done. tell the bf to get some overtime in!!!!

                              Count me in! I'm going to start with Slieve Donard. It should take me about three weeks or so. I've been climing the stairs at work throughout the day as good work breaks. I'm in an 8 story building and usually climb to the top, walk down the corridor and down the other flight of steps. I usually do this 4-5 times a day. When I do research, it's upstairs as well, and I always take the stairs unless I have a cart of supplies with me.

                              Thanks for having this challenge. Virtual climbing sounds like fun!!!!
