For many years I have seen this event, which is to climb the tallest building in Denver, the
Republic Plaza but for whatever reason there has always been a missed deadline or something on that weekend. This year I made an effort to sign up and complete it. There are two categories, most climbs in an hour and fastest time for 1 climb (this is done after the multiple climb).
The climb is 56 floors, 1098 steps and around 600 feet of elevation gain. Sounds easy? Well you also have to handle the cold fan making it somewhat frigid for multiple floors, as well as other people in the stairwell.
I managed
4 climbs in the hour, could possibly have done 5, but they cut you off if you don't make it, so I didn't want to attempt the 5th knowing I had to do an individual run afterwards.
For the individual run, I managed my f
astest time of 9 minutes, 53 seconds, so officially a sub-10 guy.
