An update on my post below. I managed 6:58 last year but for 2012 (March 1st) I'll be running up Tower 42 nine times in succession for Shelter as a part of their 4th Vertical Rush event, trying to set a Guinness World Record for a 1Km tower climb on my way to a full Vertical Mile. That's 5,310ft, 378 floors, 8,280 steps & lots of pain! The curious can read more at justgiving. com/VerticalMile - Anyway, anyone thinking of getting involved; Do it! A very well-organised event for a worthy cause :)
Excellent video apart from the 902 steps (it's 920) and Heron Tower is taller, but this is just nit-picking :)
I took part in this excellent event (just uploaded my own video of it) and I'd like to say to anyone thinking of taking part in a future one- Go for it! I've done various events for charity and this has been my favourite thus far. Really well supported and Shelter made me feel very appreciated for my efforts. I hope to be back next year with a fresh challenge. Thanks again Shelter! :)
