Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

here's the stair steps I did....for some reason I went 11 flights more than I needed...duh! Do I need 400 flights total or is what I've done enough? If I need more I can step them out tonight and tomorrow (before the month ends). Please let me know.

Seattle Space Needle, USA- 78 flights
Canary Wharf Tower, England - 107 flights.
Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia -- so that's 190 flights

ok I've picked out what I'm going to climb fr February....might add more but this will get me started!!


Petronas Twin Towers Malaysia 190 flights
Forth Rail Bridge - Scotland 45 flights
Blackpool Tower, England 69 flights

I'm going to start with the Petronas Twin Towers...and I had 11 leftover flights from January....so I have 179 flights to go!!

from the looks of things, you have already climbed petronas twin towers. i have that marked on the spreadsheet from your earlier post. the good news is...... you have them done and now you can put those 11 extra flights towards forth rail bridge

ok I thought I could re-climb the Petronas Twin Towers.....so now I'll climb:

CN Tower Toronto Canada 233 flights
Forth Rail Bridge - Scotland 45 flights
Blackpool Tower, England 69 flights

that makes 347 flights for February....30 down 317 to go!!! Gotta climb fast this month -- it's a short month!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

oh well, you could but the point is to climb all the places in one set so you can earn the award. we have some really cool looking awards for this challenge. that's why some of us keep climbing the same sets over.

I didn't know .... but I am all for seeing and seeking new heights!!! I'm off in the morning to Toronto...onward and upward.

Hi Imagood1 - watch out for the abominable snowman, up there. He just might want your mittens.

Alrighty then... I've managed to get in 54 flights up t.b.d. with the aid of my hands and a virtual rope that goes up and up and up, but alas my paperwork score at this point is -0.2, meaning that mountain grew while I made stairway (and other sorts of) progress rather than making headway there. Alas... the dark and despair of the pit... anyone got a match?

((goes back to procrastinating))...How about the Stairway to Heaven?

How about the Stairway to Heaven?

there we go! i wonder just how many flights that is?

susan, i'm sorry you don't seem to be making much headway through that paperwork.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Thanks, J...

Hey, if only this guy were at the top - I'd be up there in a wink!!!
(3 steps at a time, if he had cash...)

BTW, I climb with hands too, is that OK?

[jimmie 48]

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

hands? is that using your hands with feet in the air or just hitting the stairs with your hands as you walk up? i do that when the lights are out so i can feel a bit more secure coming upstairs in the dark. i've fallen down the bottom 2 steps shortly after my surgery and i'm not wanting to do that again.

so if that guy was at the top... i'm guessing you wouldn't be here.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Only do it on the way up, LOL. When nobody is looking either, exception to four-legged animals, of course. LOL

... No, The prize patrol hasn't knocked here yet. I sometimes wonder if anyone really wins those mega sweeps. There are about half a dozen entries I have to send off amongst the foothills of that #$* paper mountain of mine, too...


(((guiltily heads off to the grindstone via the stairs, the tap, the alarm clock and the 'deposit new paperwork here for tomorrow' site))) ~*

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

wish the prize patrol would knock on my door...but that day I would either be gone when they got here or I'd be laying down taking a nap....either way I'd miss him. Oh well....hey - I use my hands when climbing occassionally...when I first started I used them on every step. Hey boonie...I don't think anyone ever wins them, but my ex husband (#2) is still ordering as many magazines as they want him to and sending all the stickers in on his entry form....sheesh!!!

The abnominal snowman didn't get me, I think Dunkirk Dave kept him away this morning when he predicted an early spring. I go by what Dunkirk Dave (from Dunkirk, NY) says, not Puxatawny Phil says...Dave is more accurate.

Ok I'm off climbing in the morning again.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I'm up to 75 flights as of this morning - I should be half way up the CN Tower by the end of the week....might have to add more flights before the end of the month.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

No way I can keep up your pace, Imagood1, there's no flights within a tenth of a mile from my office, and that's at a crowded mall. Right now I'm so tired of sitting here, I'm doing chair pushups. I'm gonna hit the stairs but good tonight, tho, for sure. Last night I got old junk out of DS's bedroom, tonight I'm hauling up new furniture. Oh, 72 flights so far, up ...

Each flight I make is the same flight of stairs going to our basement .... over and over and over and over and over.....it's so boring! I can tell you exactly which steps squeek but the best part is each step is clean because when I see something I bend down and pick it up as I'm steppin!!
It's real fun when the dog decides she needs to help mommy step - at least dh doesn't want to help!!! LOL
