WWF CN Tower Climb

I conquered the CN Tower today!
Along with my Dad and two of his employees, we were up before the sun was shining to climb one of the world's largest free-standing structures, as a way to show our support for the WWF, and to mostly just be able to say that we climbed the CN tower!


It took me 27 minutes and 5 seconds to climb 1,776 stairs, 144+ flights and 1,135 ft.


I am exhausted.


Plus I have bronchitis, so it made the climb THAT much more painful. 
Honestly, I have never felt so much pain in my chest and throat before, never-mind the intense burning of lactic acid in my calves and thighs.

Will I do it again? No. 
Weeeelllll I suppose I could be convinced (as long as I don't have bronchitis). And I'm sure by the time the next climb rolls around, I'll be right back up there.


It certainly is a rewarding feeling.

Some interesting CN Tower climb facts:
The fastest time a man has climbed the CN tower: 
7mins 52 seconds
The fastest time a woman has climbed the CN tower:
11mins 52 seconds
The most times someone has climbed the CN tower in A DAY: 
17 times


CrAzY people!

Until next time CN Tower! If I ever climb you again, plan to be conquered in 20 minutes!
