Coach  9167     Stairway to Seven |  Subject: Stairs...check these out!OK, this is just a cheap trick to get some traffic to my logs, BUT... I included an image (vai jackbishop.com) of the cathedral we do our steps in. We is any number of folks in Pittsburgh, but on Tuesdays, it's the mountaineering school. I think wednesday's it's the Pitt cycling club. The guy who won the 70-74 yo age group at Kona last year (mabye this year too?) trains here in the winter too. Go to my log to see the photo. |

Master 1210 Saskatchewan | Subject: RE: Stairs...check these out! OMG...that sounds intense!! Good work! I've wondered around Columbus Ohio in search of decent stadiums to do stairwork or even some big hills and have come back fruitless. |

Coach 9167 Stairway to Seven | Subject: RE: Stairs...check these out! Pittsburgh also has more steps in the city than San Fransisco does. There was a book published 2 years ago called "steps of pittsburgh" in which he climbed every flight of steps (outdoor steps) owned by the city. There are entire city streets with people living in houses on them that are nothign but a flight of steps. |

I lived at the end of such a stair street Me too. I used to have to climb 144 stairs just to get up to street level on my way from my apartment to the office. Then, when I got to the office, I entered at the basement level and climbed to the third floor. Ah, good times. |

Have you read An american childhood by annie dillard? She has a great excerpt about the steps off of Dallas avenue...i havn't found them yet. I lived near the Straka St. steps in the west end (not true street stairs because they are the terminal point of an actual paved street). They're very shallow, long stairs (I think 103 if I remember correctly from my youth) that go through this sort of wooded part, I saw a snake there when I was a kid. It was our adventure spot. |
