Day Three - Europe

The "Moscow Tower" of the confusingly named "City of Capitals" skyscraper complex in Moscow is the tallest building in Europe right now. Perhaps the name sounds better in Russian. It is 302 metres tall, which translates into 56 up-and-down stair runs, or 1516 steps each way, which is easily a more impressive number.

  1. I think you need a "gear" thread Philipp. What sort of footwear? And how about hydration and food? Do you employ sports drinks?

  2. I think it'd be more authentic if you were wearing crampons while doing the stairs.

  3. Yes, on the higher mountains I'll make an effort to use authentic imaginary crampons ;-), but in these skyscrapers it would be peculiar and ill-advised...
