32nd annual Firefighter StairclimbMoving at a steady and moderate pace, you can get the climb done in about a half-hour to 40 minutes. There are some elite stair climbers, however. The record to get to the top of the Columbia Center by a firefighter is ten minutes and 39 seconds.
Almost 70 floors up in Seattle sky, firefighters finished their long trek to the 73rd floor. Each firefighter was in full gear from mask to boots, adding on up to 65 pounds of extra weight. Every step the fire men and women took at Columbia Center was to raise money for blood cancer research, patient services and advocacy.
