ADDITIONAL REMINDERS:
Portholes and airflow. In 2022 we know it was a struggle due to the Portholes in tower shaft
not being opened for us as they normally are. This issue has been addressed and over 20
portholes (those out of reach) will once again be opened for airflow! If anyone you know didn't
sign up this year due to that please let them know and inform them of the walk-in registration
available!

"Racing" is not allowed. This is a Memorial Climb, not a race. Please pause during climb for
moment of silence at Bell Toll times. PASS Devices (SCBA alarms) may be set off during these
times. Also please remember Civilian/Non-First Responder participation is a privilege. All
civilians must participate in the civilian group (unless minor and absolutely no other adult to
accompany them in such). No exceptions. Please respect our Order Of Precedence for our
fallen and the brothers and sisters climbing for them.
​
IMPORTANT! If able, Please bring CASH for T-shirts/Merchandise! Credit card lines can get
very long and time consuming. Due to increasing fees which incur a loss to us, credit card
transactions will have a fee added for card processing. Our 2024 T-shirts will be available
for sale (T-shirts are NOT included with registration). Other merchandise and prior year pints
and shirts will also be available for sale at our Afterparty held at Smoke Skybar (see afterparty
section).

Donations are accepted and greatly appreciated! Can turn into the Donation/Merchandise
table. Please let them know if this is particular Fundraising to make note of. Donations can be
made by cash or card.

Check our "Patch Board" on the grounds to ensure your agency is on it and if not, please bring
us your agency patch to the Donation/Merch to add to the board!

Non-Participants (guests) are welcome. Guests are allowed on the main grounds only. Non-
participants are permitted from entering the facility. Guests should also have valid I.D. available
on person.

Please pay attention to announcements while on the grounds. These announcements are
important and help keep our event running smoothly.

If you need to cancel or change your registration category (civilian accidentally signed up
for a 343 tag, etc.) please email [email protected] ASAP so your tag may be
reassigned properly! List will be finalized this weekend! No civilians are allowed to be signed
up to carry a tribute tag (343 FF, 70 LEO, etc tags). Please respect our first responders
paying tribute to their fallen brethren.
