- Registration for the climb will open on July 1st and will close once all spots and up to 30 alternates are filled. Serving as an alternate is very important and should be considered an honor, as your place on that list guarantees that all fallen first responders are represented at the event.
- The registration cost is $45.00, plus the Eventbrite transaction fee. There is always a discount offered for early registrations.
- Climbers are encouraged to collect pledges of $1.00 per floor. Climbers are encouraged to collect these pledges through their online pledge page which should be created after completing the registration process. Participants will receive an email with a link to their pledge page and instructions on how to customize it. All pledges go to the beneficiary.
- All climbers should consult their physician and be engaged in an adequate physical conditioning program prior to the event.
- Participants must agree to the event rules and sign a liability waiver and photo release.
- Registrants should receive, print and completely read the confirmation email(s) AND any links and attachments as they contain important information, including what to expect next in the process.
- Individuals who experience difficulty in the registration process should contact us immediately via email in order to resolve their issue.
- Alternates will be placed based upon the order that their registration was received.
- No refunds will be given at any time as these funds are spent on non-refundable event expenses such as shirts, food, drinks, signs, insurance, challenge coins, etc. Each year our event is during hurricane season and rain has always been a possibility and occasional occurrence. In the event of inclement weather, the stair climb will take place, but certain elements may be cancelled. Check social media accounts for last minute updates. Extreme circumstances will be addressed on a case by case basis.
