SkyCity Auckland\u2019s Sky Tower is a feat of modern architecture and engineering that stands 328 meters and welcomed crowds of tourists looking to take in an amazing view of the city or dine at the revolving restaurant.<\/p>\n
Not everyone goes there for leisure though, as the structure\u2019s 51 flights of stairs with 1103 steps are the battleground where the SkyCity<\/a> Sky Tower Challenge takes place.<\/p>\n This athletic contest involves getting to the top as fast as you can with 25 kilograms of gear on your back, with a BG4 closed-circuit breathing mask strapped to your face.<\/p>\n Members of Waihi Operation’s Mines Rescue Team and the Macraes Emergency Response Team took up this gruelling race against over 900 firefighters from across the country and successfully raised over $1.3 million for Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand.<\/p>\n
