THE STAIR CLIMB

The first event is the high rise pack carry. The 100' 1.75" Hi Combat hose load(42 lb.) may be carried in any manner, but must be deposited in the container on the top floor(equivalent to a five story building)of the tower (42', 6 sets of risers with 10 steps each). The hose load must stay on the platform or the competitor is disqualified. The handrails may be used in climbing the tower. Steps may be taken in multiples on the way up, but every step must be contacted and both handrails grasped when descending the tower. Failure to touch each step or use the handrails on the descent will result in a 2 second penalty per infraction.
