The post event celebration is from 8:30am-12:00pm on the 8th floor of the building! Music will be playing as you enjoy complimentary food and beverages. Fundraising prizes, event awards, and participant T-shirts will be distributed. Our top sponsors will also be recognized.

"COOL DOWN LAP"

Want to see how far you climbed? This year climbers will do a "cool-down" lap around the Gulf Tower observation deck. Get your picture (or team picture) with the beautiful city of Pittsburgh behind you, admire your accomplishment of climbing 37 floors, and most importantly...catch your breath!
