Scale the Strat!

Thirty-five million Americans are living with chronic lung diseases such as asthma, lung cancer and COPD. We invite you to register for the "Scale the Strat" event to help us fight to end lung disease.
Friday, February 20, 2009, 400 climbers will tackle the 1,455 stairs of the Stratosphere Tower. Saturday, February 21, 2009, the top 50 climbers from Friday will climb off again for fabulous prizes "Scale the Strat" is the American Lung Association in Nevada's competitive stair climb. Individuals and teams will race up the Stratosphere Observation Tower's staircase to raise money to fund lung health research, education, and advocacy in Southern Nevada.
This climb is not for beginners Scale the Strat is a 108- floor vertical ascent that is not for the average couch potato or acrophobic (people who are afraid of heights). The first 26 flights are configured like a typical stairwell, but the upper flights are suspended inside the middle of a hollow tower with open air on each side. Once the climbers are in the tower core, there is no exit point, unless there is a medical emergency. This climb is not for the weak hearted. The unique location of the climb should be considered prior to you registering.
