Missoula Fireman Keeps Stairs Title

A Missoula firefighter has won a stairclimbing competition in Seattle for the third straight year. The Missoulian reports Missoula Rural Fire’s Kory Burgess won the Scott Firefighter Stairclimb Sunday by running up 69 flights of stairs in 10 minutes, 53.78 seconds, breaking the record he set two years ago. About 1,500 firefighters competed in the event, in which they run up the stairs of the Columbia Center wearing about 50 pounds of gear and a breathing apparatus/ Missoulian . More here .

Question: How many flights of stairs could you climb in 10 minutes? (To Cindy: Would you prefer that the firefighters climb the stairs shirtless?)
