YHC posted with about 115 other PAX in the 6:00 wave at the Lincoln Memorial in DC for the 5th annual 9/11 Stairclimb in the pouring rain. The first wave of early risers went off at 5:00 and had what looked like about 50 PAX – according to the tourists and the couple getting their wedding photos in this is what happened this year.
Run, walk, crawl whatever you have to do to get up and down the Lincoln Memorial steps with a beatdown at the bottom while waiting for the 6
There are 87 stairs, you should touch every one on the way up and on the way down, Repeto 24 times. Quick math says that’s 2,088 stair touches each way for all the stairs that the firefighters on 9/11 had to climb in one tower. I believe only on other HIM actually ran in both waves this year, 48 times up and down. Hightower and a hand full of other HIM rucked from his house to the Memorial before the fun started. YHC did wear his 30ish pound ruck sack and ran most of the time but did have to walk on the steeper steps from time to time.
After all was said and done there was a coffateria on Ohio street
NMS:
This was YHC’s second time to visit this AO and I had just as much fun as the first trip. YHC made it a point to try and meet at least 5 new PAX but once you introduce yourself to 1 person they tend to introduce you to their PAX and snow ball gets really big. I can’t remember half the names I learned today.
Just like last year there was a couple getting their wedding pictures taken and just like last year F3 photo bombed most of their better pictures.
