Ordinary people doing extraordinary things!!!

One step at a time....that's what it takes for these people who take on urban stair climbing as a sport. They climb the stairs of some of the tallest building in the United States. Urban stair climbing is gaining popularity. "Hustle up the Hancock", a Chicago stair climb, has over 4,000 participants annually! What it takes to climb 30,40 or 95 flights/floors is definitely extraordinary! I'd love to hear from you ......
