Climbing Competition

On April 15, participants in a “63-Story Building” climbing competition are gasping for air on the 60th floor. In the competition that attracted about 500 participants, people climbed up 1,251 stairs or 249 meters’ worth, and Song Chang-seon, a 36 year-year-old man, won the competition. It took him 8 minutes and 13 seconds, about 7 minutes faster than what would take for an average person.
