- "It is very intimidating
from the base of the tower. For weeks I thought I was crazy to commit
to the climb. Once I got going and finished, it is the most incredible
feeling! I can't wait to try again next year and beat my time." Lisa
-
- "I've climbed the CN tower for
United Way four times and I think they keep adding a few stairs every year.
I could have sworn the first year there were a only 1,769. I admit I lost
count after the first 1,000. This year they claim there are 1776!
-
- It's a great way to raise money for
a worthy cause. It's also a great way to challenge yourself a little more
each year while trying to beat your own personal record." Brigid
Kelso, 18 min. 4 sec.

- "It's important to do something
useful and fun. It was my
first time and I climbed in 16 minutes and 50 seconds." Carlo
