Situation:

On 11 SEP 2001, terrorists executed four attacks on U.S. soil and killed 2,977 people. It was a day that changed American life, forever.

Mission:

Honor those lost in the 9/11 terrorist attacks by taking on our 9/11 Stair Climb.

TASK

Complete the Workout


CLIMB 2,200 STAIRS.

Climb 2,200 stairs. That’s the number of stairs first responders climbed on their way up the 110-story World Trade Center.


Challenge yourself to climb 2,200 stairs with a 40 lbs ruck. That’s the weight of the gear the firefighters had with them that day. 

Options to scale include dividing the climb with a buddy or 2 or 3.
