PPE Challenge

This one is all about air management and endurance:

Wearing full PPE, including SCBA climb the tower at station #1 on air until your bottle is completely empty.

Make sure your bottle is topped off 100% full, go on air as you enter the door to the tower, make sure you touch the wall at the top (just like the LPAT), and for safety you must touch every stair on the way down.  In the comments record how long you were able to make the bottle last as well as how many times you completed the tower, all the way to the top and back to the door is 1 evolution (1/2 evolutions count).

This is a good one to do on crew, good luck and have fun!

    20:23 and 19 laps (thomas)
    24:30 and 24.5 laps (Legan) (WTF)
    18:49 and 15 laps (Waldmann)

    Although I must say that Legan and Waldmann worked out before they did this little challenge so they both made me look pretty bad.

    WOW!!! That's going to be tough to beat, I don't know if I could make a bottle last 24 minutes sitting on a couch.

    Were we supposed to go in the basement stairwell? I started there instead of at the front door.

    20:10 and 16 laps

    I shut off my bottle when my mask "sucked to my face" but there was a depressing amount of air left when I opened the purge ...

    I'll be doing this one again from the landing, not the basement.

    I am impressed at the number of FF's over the 20 minute mark, that is outstanding. Especially considering the number of stories you can climb while doing it.

    Now that's air management!
