    Kilted Climb for Charity

    Hey All -
    Just wanted you all to know that on March 22nd The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is holding it's annual "Big Climb." (This is charity event in which participants climb 69 flights of The Columbia Tower in Seattle.)

    I'm bringing it up here because not only am I participating this year, but I'm planning on doing it Kilted. Wish me luck, and pray for the person 4 steps below me....

    Better get to the gym and on the StairMaster to start practising!

    The Headline "Kilted Man found dead on 24th floor during charity Event" will not reflect well on us!

    OH MY!

    Good luck and report back (if you make it past that 24th floor )

    Cheers

    You can P.M. me for details if you like. (I'm trying to be mindful of the Forum Rules)

    On the practical side, has anyone done something similar while kilted? Any particular...precautions...I should consider?
