Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

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.

WELCOME TO OUR FLIGHTS ADDICTION, Tracey!!!

just so everyone is on the same page and us seasoned climbers don't think we've been deprived of oxygen at the high altitudes, the Millennium Dome, England 320 steps 21 flights, is the shortest climb. don't we remember back to the days 21 flights took us 3 days to finish??? my how far we have come!!!

but rest assured... no i take that back.... climb assured that you can do these in any order you wish! hop from a building to a mountain and back again, whatever you feel like.

just let us know when that building or mountain is conquered so we can celebrate with you!

Welcome TBW! This is one challenge that gets under your skin... or rather, under your feet!

Jimmie..... FANTASTIC numbers! Thanks for sharing.

Sweetgirl... congratulations on making the move from Mt Blanc to ol Killi!

As for me... still trudging up Everest... am at the point where it's seeming never-ending, and I want that award!!

am at the point where it's seeming never-ending, and I want that award!!

sal, that's exactly the point i got to. it was that 'so close yet so far away' feeling for me. and the thought of finally getting the award was what pushed me to do so much those last few days.


i really should have said along with the fantastic number of flights, that 9 climbers have finished all the buildings, 1 has done all the mountains (but that number is fixing to change soon). a total of 34 climbers have climbed at least 1 building or mountain.

OH! i need to get a new set done up and tell you what i have figured out for the Challengers Choice Climb! i'll try to get that posted sometime today.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

"So close yet so far away" sums it up brilliantly Jimmie! I'd love to go for a big push, like you did, but it's soooooo hot and humid here these days, it's as much as I can do to get the flights I do, done. Maybe if it cools down a bit...

Looking forward to seeing what you cooked up for the Challengers Choice!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Millenium Dome Complete! Now my dog thinks I'm crazy - she sat at the top of the stairs last night looking at me like "I knew it would happen sooner or later." I guess I'm off to the Sydney Opera House next, if I can squeeze those flights in without the kids' help. Baby gates on the stairs are adding to this challenge! So I'm wondering if I climb the stairs while carrying my son, do I get to count it as 2 flights?

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Good climbing Tracey!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

WOWEEEE jimmie - those stats are great! - there's nearly a million steps done too

thanks sallyseachange about the mountain swap

and well done Tracey hehe on the doggie when I first started stairs - I did them outdoors at night so no one could see me doing that - but come to think of it, my dogs were always watching lol

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Wow! Looks like you gals are doing a great job with all those stairs!!!

Jimmie, please chalk up 210 stairs for me on my beginning climb up Everest. Now that my knee is pretty much healed, I hope to do more stair work. It's just that mentally, I feel like it'll crumple under me. Weird, eh?

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Helloooooooo down there Bio! Nice to have company on the biggun! Susan should be here any day now too!

I'm wanting to do a fast push for the top now, but am having knee issues, so am sticking to no more than I already do. I empathise with you though. Can just imagine how you might need a bit of time for the confidence in your knee to build up.

Happy climbing everyone!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Well, this one took me longer than it should have, but Sidney Opera House is complete. Just in time to start my 20/24 challenge when the kids wake up from their naps!
