Fight for Air Climb: Supporting the American Lung Association

Post in Progress: Pictures + Captions first; narrative to come
On my ride to the US Bancorp Tower in downtown Portland for the Fight for Air Climb in support of the American Lung Association.  Visibility seemed to be just a few hundred feet at best.  Good thing climbing 160 floors in a stairwell wasn't for the views.

My results from the fundraiser.  Definitely surprised myself.  Having never done any sort of stair climb event, and probably not having climbed more than one flight in the past 3 years, placed 8th out of 116 total climbers of 160 floors with a time of 27:36.
