CN-TOWER STAIR CLIMB

The semi-annual event was held yesterday at the tower. Over 10,000 climbed the 1776 steps and raised over $830,000 for the United Way.

When I was in high school I made the climb a couple of times. Being at school in Montreal has prevented me from making the climb recently. Back then my best time for the climb was 17:58. The record climbing time for a male is held by Brendan Keenoy who accomplished the feat in 7:52 in 1989. In 2000, Olympic cyclist Chrissy Reddon set the female record at 11:52. The Armchair Garbageman did the climb yesterday in 31:33 and has a brief report of the event.
