Once you finish your climb

Help—Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical climb take?

Most reasonably-fit people should be able to finish all 43 floors in less than 45 minutes, but climbers can take as many breaks as necessary as long as they finish their route by 9:00 pm. Check out 2014 climbers' time results.

Where does the climb end? On the roof?

All climbers will finish their climb on the 43rd floor, inside the building. Unfortunately, we cannot allow climbers on the roof, for safety reasons.

Will photographs be taken at the event?

Yes, Her Justice photographers will be present during registration, the stair climb and the Finish Line party. Photos will be made available to all participants after the event.

If your team wishes to take photos together, but members are finishing at different times, you should plan to meet at the Finish Line party once you complete your climb.

Please be aware that by consenting to be photographed at Story by Story^®, you are giving Her Justice permission to use your image on its web site and print pieces and to share your image with media outlets. If you do not wish to be photographed, please alert the Her Justice photographers during the event.

How do I find out my personal time?

All climbers will be given an individual timing chip when they check in. Timing chips will be attached to your bib (do not remove the chip from your bib).

A link to climbers' times will be emailed to all participants a few days after the event. Due to the complicated structure of the stairwells, some timing chips may malfunction, and we cannot guarantee a timing chip result for all climbers.

Can I continue to fundraise after the event?

Yes, you can continue to do extra fundraising until November 6. We encourage everyone to take advantage of the post-event period to continue their fundraising—every little bit helps Her Justice!

Remember that your $150 fundraising requirement or any balance is due on November 6, and your credit card on file will be charged if necessary. We will notify you before your credit card is charged.
