Climbing for Heroes on 911 | Las Vegas News

Over 300 first responders in Las Vegas scaled 1,455 steps to the top of The STRAT tower on September 11th, honoring the fallen heroes of 9/11 in a powerful, annual tradition now in its seventh year. Dressed in full gear and carrying lanyards with photos of those lost, participants — including firefighters, police, and military — push their limits not just for fitness, but for memory. For younger responders too young to remember the attacks, it’s an essential lesson in sacrifice. The climb also raises funds for vital charities like Tunnel to Towers, generating over $50,000 in a decade. It’s more than exercise — it’s legacy, resilience, and remembrance kept alive, one step at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
