Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I have a question... do flights from a stair stepper at the gym count as flights or is there another formula?

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I did most of my mountain flights on an aerobic step, so I'm sure that jimmie (our intrepid leader) will tell you that a gym stair stepper is just fine.

they count! a step is a step is a step. each flight is based on 15 steps per flight.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Being so new I'm not sure I'm ready for this challenge yet but what an incredible idea! Give me a couple months and I'll start climbing right along with you. Good luck to everyone and happy 2008!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I am joining the Climbing Challenge.

My first goal is to do, Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland @ 360 flights
I will be doing it on a Stairmaster, step tread machine. Did it today for only 10 minutes (did 20 flights), not bad, but my calves will need to get use to it, lol.

sas, the beauty of this challenge is that you climb at your own pace. you can start just by merely taking the stairs instead of the elevator, maybe take 2 trips up the home stairs to deliver upstairs stuff instead of one.

i use pennies. each time i climb the stairs here at the house, i drop a penny in the basket at the top. at the end of the day i know how many i've done. you can devise your own way to tally up the number and start any time!

just let us know what your climbing (see the first post to get the available climbs) and when you finish something, give a shout out so we can celebrate with you!

GREAT TO SEE YOU MR BLUEBELT!
those of us that started this so long ago, had some things to get used too. you did great with 20 flights! i think my first climbe on real stairs wiped me out with 10. lolol

wasn't sure if you were joining us or not or just asking question. all of which is perfectly fine.

just let us know what you are climbing and then tell us when the climb is done. it's at your own pace, your own time frame. be prepared...this can get addictive!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Welcome to all the new climbers! Good to have you join us. This is such a fun challenge.
I started very slowly, and got so addicted that I bought an aerobic step and completely amazed myself by finishing the first group of mountains and buildings. It's really cool to travel the world in this virtual way!!! I know you'll have fun.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

...i think i'd like a picture of you shimming up the mast. lolol
not exactly a step kind of thing but in the virtual world of climbing, we have no boundaries!

KVLY Mast From Base

See me up there? I’m the little dot on the left, nearly two thirds up! That darn mast swaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays in the wind!
