For those of you who don't live in the Seattle area, this is an annual event where civilians try to climb the columbia skyscraper downtown as a fundraiser for Leukemia research. Firefighters try to do it in full bunker gear (75 pounds) and on air, meaning fully sealed face mask with an air bottle on their back just as if the building were on fire. 69 flights, 1,311 stairs. Is anybody going to be doing this?

lol, no, but one time when i was still a courier, someone told me to take the stairs up one floor. the problem is, all the doors in the stairwell are locked, so i got in there and i had to run down like 45 floors to get back to the elevator to get up to the floor i needed. it almost made me late...
