Triple Step Division
Climbing the tower just once isn't enough
for you?... then here's your division...
Climb the tower 3 times and then we'll add your times up for a 'total time' -
This division is for individuals male and female. If you enter this division you
are not eligible for individual 'single climb' awards but just the triple step
awards. Award categories will be based on how many people enter this division.
At least an Open and Masters division will be awarded and perhaps other age
groups if enough people enter. You will have approximately a 3 hour period
to complete all three climbs (again, your 3 stairclimb times are added together
- not the time you rest between climbs).
