The other stairs had an elevator shaft, imagine looking down that from the top

Thanks, it was a lot of fun and over too quick. That's why I did this video, I had little idea what to expect before I went. There are 2 water stations. The air is very dry in the stairs! Good luck, have fun!

Nice to see a full length video of the entirety of the climb. Thanks for posting!

...some people who were not that prepared. Once you get to the top you get your medal and right to the elevator to come down. There are refreshments on the second floor when you get there. You can also change your clothes there before you leave. There is no place for friends and family to come watch and I remember they told us to arrange meeting them somewhere once you leave. I met some friends at a local restaurant. It's too bad they didn't provide a meeting place there.

Spaceshotx71 year ago in skyscrapers, don't stair go up a certain amount of floors, then you have to walk down a corridor to continue to the next flight if stairs to go up? - You might not see this since I can't directly reply to pre-google+ merged comments but the stairway changed formation on 20 and you have to walk down a hall on 65 to get to the next portion of the stairs. Coincidentally those floors are the locations of the water stations.

...and for the 6 weeks leading up to the stair climb I went to the gym 6 days a week. I'm sure there were
