It took me just 20 minutes and 15 seconds to ascend all 1776 steps and 144 floors. The climb gave me a new-found appreciation of just how tall the CN tower really is (plus a free souvenir t-shirt).
The CN Tower was built between 1973 - 1976 by the Canadian National railway company (hence the 'CN' Tower). At the time, it was the world's tallest tower and was designed to transmit communication, radio and TV signals across Toronto. It has become an iconic feature of the city's skyline and a major tourism attraction, hosting over 2 million visitors annually to the glass-floor observation deck and the revolving restaurant (aptly named 360°).
From now on, whenever I gaze upon Toronto's skyline, I'll be proud to think to myself: "I climbed that!".
