Nowhere to go but up…
 |
Time for yet another stair climb. This time, it’s a ‘short’ one. 50-something stories up the Figueroa at Wilshire building in downtown Los Angeles.
I did a practice climb up this building last week. It was all right. About like the Wells Fargo building that we practiced in before the U.S. Bank Tower climb in September.
There was an article I read recently that describe competitive stair climbing as ‘masochism in perhaps its purest form’. This is somewhat appropriate here, since this climb is a fund-raiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. And my old friend Bob “Supermasochist” Flanagan (nota bene: His story is somewhat NSFW) lived 43 years with the pain of CF.
So if you can, please make a donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. It’s a good cause.
