Climber Etiquette

To ensure the safety of all climbers, please be courteous while climbing. If you are a slower climber, please allow faster climbers to pass you on the inside of the stairwell. Climbers passing on the inside are asked to announce their presence and intent to pass.

Water Stations

Water stations will be located on floor 16 and at the finish line. Water bottles are not allowed in the stairwells, as it is a safety hazard.

Safety Procedures

Trained medical personnel will be located at the Top and at the water station in case you need assistance. Volunteers will also be available at the water stations.

Children

Climbers must be at least 6 years old to participate. Any climber under the age of 18 must climb with an adult (age 18 years or older) and must not be left alone under any circumstances. For adults who climb at a faster pace, please note that your child may not be left unattended while you climb, so make arrangements accordingly. Due to building regulations and to ensure your safety and that of your child, child-toting is not allowed. Only children 6+ registered as climbers will be able to join a parent in the stairwell.

Awards

We appreciate the hard work and dedication of every climber and team who has raised money to fight lung disease. Participants and teams who have gone above and beyond will be recognized.

Parking

Convenient, attached, covered parking is available for climbers at a discounted rate of $6. The parking structure entrance is at 601 N Jefferson. Bring your ticket with you to pay at the kiosk or pay with card upon exit.
