      If you don't mind the extra weight on the end of your rope, I'll jump on for he last 200 flights up Killi...

      Been slack on the stairs, but that is due to spending a LOT more time going around in circles (with a few of those glorious mountain hairpin turns) and not gaining much altitude. (Except for a couple of days having a little extra climbing incentive compliments of Montezuma...LOL)

      Any-who, I'll be heading for Everest within 2-3 weeks, at least, and probably taking a closer look at my walking/jogging/swimming/rowing which have been respectable but unaccounted for... 20 minutes walk gets me to the nearest free internet!

        susan, good to see you're going to speed ahead up kili! well, maybe not speed up it since you clinging to the rope but upward motion beats running in circles.

        finally got my butt moving again and go 50 flights done up those twin towers again!

                kill me is right, sweet! good to see you're still treking towards the summit!

                it's been rather quiet in here. i may have to scout out the climbers and see if they got frozen to death on the high peaks.

                    I did lots of walking on my holiday, but not many stairs... so really slowed down on the trek up Everest. Back on my minimum 50 flights/day routine now.

                    Looking forward to seeing you soon Susan, here on the "Big Un".

                      Just keep up your walking, so I've got a chance to catch up before you get to the top!
                      If only we could count flights climbed in our dreams, LOL. I had one of those endless staircase ones last night, like you see in Dr. Seuss!

                      See ya next week Sally!

                        Oh... I know what you mean about those dreams Susan! Like that staircase in a Salvador Dali painting... going round and round and sort of moving into itself instead of going anywhere!!

                          just updating for myjack:

                          he's got 105 to go to finish bennevis. yes it is taking him forever but we still just keep counting up the pennies. maybe by the end of july, he'll be done with this mountain.

                          i did not finish up the buildings like i had wanted to. i'll do it this week then it will be off to conquer something new, which i'll be telling you about in short order.

                                I'm just starting out on the exercise challenges and this sounds like a lot of fun. I'm starting out with the smallest (Clifton Bridge), and hopefully can make the climb in no time.
