If interested, please email me and I will give you my phone number so
we see each other at the climb. One can encourage the other to get to
the top. Now I don't know which of you or I will be the one needing
encouragement... If it takes an hour it's ok, if it takes 2 hours it's
ok too!

Not to make a big deal about this, but it ain't the tallest building.
Tallest building is Taipei 101. The CN Tower is the tallest tower, but not
the tallest structure. That's a TV tower (with guy wires) located in North
Dakota.
Don't argue - see http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001338.html or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_tallest_structures (which calls it a
'structure', right above the Sears Tower which they list as a building, but
in this case they include the antenna mast. Either case, the CN Tower ain't
it.

"The CN Tower is the tallest tower, but not the tallest structure."
Sentence should have read "The CN Tower is the tallest self-supporting
structure on land, but not the tallest structure."

It's 1776 steps. (1776. Reminds you of something? Smile ) I did not go as
I already walk the equivalent of 1.5 of that when I walk the stairs
many times in my apartment building. And I was working overtime that
day, too.

How long does that take? One of our walking clubs had a 44 kilometer
(about) walk around Washington DC which takes roughly 8 or 9 hours from what
I am told. I personally have never done more than 20 at a whack which took
me about 4.5 hours.
