We did it!

The Wentworth stairs have been conquered! For those many of you who aren't from my city, it's a set of 500 steps going up the side of the Niagara escarpment.

Despite nearly throwing up near step 400, and becoming a screaming heap of hysterical hyperventilation on the way down (heights give me the willies big time), I made it all the way up and down again!

What surprised me the most about the whole experience was how supportive everyone else was. People saw me panting and keeling over, and stopped to tell me how hard it was for them their first time. Those people deserve a big thanks! I don't know if I'd have made it without the pep talks

And now, for your amusement, pictures from my little adventure:

I think that IMG should be img (lower cvase), at least that is what I remember reading on other posts. I never posted pictures so if that does not work, then you need to wait for a comment from an expert.

Looking at the view from the top, I feel you're phobia of heights. What an amazing accomplishment. High five!!! Enjoy your accomplishment!
