American Lung Association in Nevada hosts first practice climb event
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The American Lung Association in Nevada offered a unique opportunity for participants of the Scale The STRAT event.
For the first time, climbers had the opportunity to practice ahead of the main event scheduled for Feb. 22.
The practice climb took place at Cashman Stadium on Saturday, thanks to a partnership with the Las Vegas Lights.
Deborah Thompson is the Executive Director with the American Lung Association of Nevada. She says, “This is the first time that we actually done a practice climb, and this is an opportunity for people that aren’t sure about doing it, if they’re able to do it and get over their fear.”
Registered participants tested their stair-climbing skills nearly a month before tackling the 1,455 steps of The STRAT Tower.
