Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

great job with the climbs, sal! i see you are nearly done with the sears tower!

i'm very slow going. 1 day maybe and i don't look for that to change any time soon. but one is one and i'll keep counting!

Slow and steady wins the race Jimmie!

I've now moved on to the Taipei 101, just for the record.

glad to have you climbing with us, gonnabfit!

yep, that flagpole equals out to 57 flights..... not so bad. that would be the Aqaba Flagpole in Aqaba, Jordan.

my flights are not so many but working towards having B.R.E.N. TOWER finished before too long.
jack is still plugging away GRES-2 POWER STATION.

Here's two more to add: International Finance Center, Hong Kong's tallest stated as 88 floors but they leave out 4th and 24th floor (bad luck to Chinese) so really 86.

and the Petronas Towers in KL. They are twin towers, each with 88 floors. They were featured in the movie Entrapment. Thought you might need more buildings.

good night alive.... is it time for me to make up another set of buildings????/
thanks for the suggestions, jill .. i don't recall having the finance center on any of our lists. if i make up another set of climbs, i'll be sure to add that one.

as far as the twin towers go, i know for sure that one is included.
i've climbed it twice now. one or two of the awards we have for the virtual buildings features the twin towers.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Yes... I've done the Petronas too. The other one isn't on any list though. Nice one Jill!

Hey Jimmie... soon we'll be able to climb the mountain of rubbish in Naples, it must be getting so high!!!!! Yuk! Such a scandal...and they don't seem to be able to resolve it. Of course it's all mafia business (or rather Camorra - Neapolitan mafia)

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

let me see ... climbing mountains of trash and rubble and garbage or climbing mt everest again???? hmm..... mt everest. LOL

actually, i think i'll choose another 3 climbs for the challengers choice when i finish the kvly tv mast. i read that might be what you do, sal.

we've lost so many of our challengers. i'm glad for the few of us still taking the stairs.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Apart from being smellier, the rubbish will soon be higher than Everest if they don't get in gear!!

Yep Jimmie... I'm gonna do another challengers' choice after this.
As for losing people, well that happens doesn't it? Goes in waves. For me though, the two "P" challenges (Pledging flights and Pedometer) are just perfect! Something about regular counting and keeping a record keeps me striving that little bit more.

Jimmie, I think we two are the die hards here... after Everest (and all that time spent on the aerobic step) counting steps becomes a reflex action!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Well, if I was living in my old house in Hong Kong I would join for sure. We had tall skinny houses on the mountainside and I had 4 flights from the front door to the bedroom. I was doing stairs all day long!
