We suggest that you take only what you need – water, a jacket for after the climb, and a small amount of food. If you bring extra items, we can look after them in our cloaking area. All care will be taken but we accept no responsibility for lost or damaged items.
- What happens if I can't complete the climb?
We will have lots of volunteers along the way, at every 5 floors, who will be ready and happy to provide help to anyone who may feel ill or experience other difficulties. If you cannot complete the climb, they will assist you in finding your way to the bottom floor using the lifts.
