Climbing Up The CN Tower

On Sunday, I climbed the 1,766 steps of the CN Tower in Toronto, as part of the WWF Climb for Nature to raise funds to protect wildlife.

It was my first time climbing up the CN Tower. I was a slow climber, but I was still proud of myself for reaching the top.

A couple of thoughts:

First, I ran up the stairs in the first few minutes, carried by the vibe, but eventually I got winded halfway through. Everything has a pace, and so does life.

Second, take it slower if you start running out of breath. You will make it to the top if you try your best.

Lastly, I climbed up the tower with my sis who managed to finish the climb faster than I did. She had climbed up the tower a few times before, so she knew what to expect and how to prepare. Learn from experience, whether it is good or bad.

It was a good experience overall!
