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.
