I'm kinda surprised that the stairwell is that narrow.
I had the same reaction, must have been
intimate when you passed somebody.

If anyone is interested, I found a running / racing
site with Saturday's results:
http://www.hallucinationsports.com/event/show/27790195#/results::1330906178640
So indeed the WIZ was under 2x the leader's time on Saturday.

Using the American Math, not the British version. No long scale billion used in USA.
And you know how we feel about the metric system. LOL

I was surprised to pass by some pretty heavy people, about 250 pounds. They were just standing at the turns in the stairway, apparently in no hurry to keep going.
I wish I could see a full list of times but as far as I know they were only published for the top 50.
Somebody asked earlier about getting rescued half way up. I think the elevator has the ability to stop a various points along the way.

That was me that asked. I assume it can stop at those points where you mentioned there was a rest platform.Quote: WizardSomebody asked earlier about getting rescued half way up. I think the elevator has the ability to stop a various points along the way.
What kind of reception was waiting at the top?
And how did you get down? Stairs? Elevator? Zip Line? If it's the latter, where's the picture of that?

Oh, it's a charity event. I assume their goal is climbing to the top in exchange for donations received, not doing well in the race.

It seems likely. As I recall the elevators at the Strat tower do have buttons and indicators for various stops.

As Buzz wrote, the full times are posted at www.hallucinationsports.com.
Out of 352 climbers I came in 73rd. So, that would put me in the 21st percentile. Not bad for my first time. The slowest person in the top 50, which advance to Sunday, had a time of 11:50, 51 seconds faster than me.
Somebody was asking about the slowest time. That was 1:02:37.

No worries.
With motivation provided by the Wiz and Hotblonde,
should be no problemo.

Oh, wait...
I just went on www.hallucinationsports.com. It seems the 4th member of your "dream team" was the second to last finisher.
Ironic.
When I said I merely didn't want to be last, I didn't realize....

I need to start training now, but I can almost guarantee I will finish no lower than 2nd in my age group. And I am willing to bet on it. LOL

As you may recall, prior to Mike's climb, I kept asking about access to the elevators, primarily in case a person wanted to bail out.
That was about the Stratosphere climb.
The news story involved climb for the same charity event, but in a typical office building in Los Angeles.
