Good morning, I am joining you wonderful climbers. My mom is in the hospital, and I find myself here more than home, so I've been climbing flights of stairs....102 flights so far, 10 more flights and that will be the Sydney Ophra House 4 TIMES....
Very cool! I will pop on here quite frequently...gives me something to use my energy up on!!!!

WELCOME TO OUR WORLD OF CLIMBING JESS!!!

102 FLIGHTS ALREADY.
you only have to climb one building once. with 102 done, you can split it up anyway you like. most have started with the smallest building and are working upward. some go from country to country.
hospital flights might be a counted differently so check that. this challenge is based on 15 steps per flight. if the hospital flights have more you'll just have to calculate them a bit differently, no problem. your a smart lc cookie so you'll be able to figure that out.
so with 102 you have already climbed Milennium Dome, Sydney Opera House, and the Dlifton Suspension Bridge. you also got 20 flights towards Big Ben done. that's if you are doing smallest to largest. i'll wait to mark the sheet until you say how you want to count it all.

when you get all the building done, you get one of the awards. we have several to choose from.

Hi fellow climbers. Stopped by to call you within tower range (?) on Mt. Killya... I'm a little past the 1/4 way mark station, at 700 flights, and gathered gear for the next leg of the climb.

Let's see... helium tank... balloons.... just kidding. Now that the ankle's rested up pretty good, I think I can pick up the pace without those.

Susan... glad your ankle's rested and ready to go again! I'm still trailing behind, but at least on the same mountain!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

jess, did you decide how to break up those filghts so i know which buildings to mark finished for you?
milennimu dome was 21 flights
sydney opera house is 28
clifton suspension bridge is 33
big ben at 42
those total 124
which means you have 12 to the credit on foruth rail bridge, according to you siggy of 136 flights.

is that how you want it all marked on my sheet?

btw, GREAT CLIMBING AND USE OF TIME!

LOL! My fitness centre bought a couple of stair-climbing maschines. You know, not the stairmasters, more like the stairs you find in old-fashioned amusement parks, where the stairs are moving - except here of course you have to make them move yourself. But that is a good way to get some stairs in.

I did another 20 yestersay and 20 today, and updated my signature.

And Jesse! I am sorry to hear about your mom. Hope she will recover fine. Welcome to this part of the boards, which is really a nice and friendly part.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I've finished two more buildings, I'm on the 7th one on the list in the guide. I work for Nautilus (which include StairMaster) and luckily for me we have 5 step mills and 4 steppers in the workout room to use. I prefer the mills, that's the kind where the steps just keep coming. Just like going up the down escalator in the mall.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

HOW NEAT! this is the second time today these machines have been mentioned!

GOOD WORK, DEP! I'LL UPDATE THE SPREADSHEET!

i love this challenge!

JIMMIE!!!! Congratulations on planting the flag besides Sadiejen's! Must be a wonderful view from up there. Trying to see you from way further down, with my binoculars... Hope to add the Brit flag to the collection in a while.
Good luck next week on the "Big One"!
