Ok folks!
Its been a couple of years, but I finally have time to make the climb again. If you believe in a good cause, please consider making a donation.
Donations of $100.00 or more are eligible for advertising space on my turn out gear ;D (space is limited so don't wait too long... ;))
The link below [MAKE A DONATION] (http://action.lung.org/site/TR/Climb/ALANE_Northeast?px=5691378&pg=personal&fr_id=10970) will take you to my page on the American Lung Association website. From there, just follow the firefighter proof instructions to make your donation.
PM me if you have any questions, and THANK YOU!

EDIT: SO much for Firefighter proof....
I guess there was a problem with the link I posted. Should be fixed now, but if it goes down again, the link below is another option, if less fool proof ;)

Ha,ha...
Actually, when we train for this we do multiple trips.
But on the big day it's just one for time. ;)
I get it now. Bring your A game!
That's a long way even once.
Once I did Top of the Rock, 66 stairs, T shirt, shorts, sneakers. Thought I was going to die. Go Herm!
Thanks to those who have donated so far!
bump for a good cause
This deserves another bump.
[bow_down] to herm for doing this.
another bump for a good cause
Thanks for the bumps guys!
Did I mention that any donations are eligible for a tax right write off?
...and another bump
Time for another bump
Thanks Nate!
Just about two weeks to go. I can't thank those who made a donation enough.....but next time I see you at DIMBY I will do my best.

Good to hear, but not particularly informative. ;D
They should light the building on fire...

what they should do is use positive pressure ventilation and humidifiers in the stairwell....my throat is still raw from the dry air.
Did you make it?
Yup, 13 minutes 53 seconds....over a minute slower than last time :P
just under 600 vertical feet. with about 80 Lbs. of VERY warm gear on
