About the Climb

Honoring heroes. One step at a time.
Our Story

Why We Climb

The Rock the Climb 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb began with a simple mission: to honor the 343 firefighters and the many other first responders, civilians, and military personnel whose lives were forever changed by the events of September 11, 2001. Each year, climbers ascend 110 stories — the height of the Twin Towers — in remembrance of those who gave everything.

This is more than a climb. It is a promise: we will never forget.

Honor

Every climber carries the memory of a hero. We climb in the same gear, the same stairs — so we never forget what they faced.

Support

Proceeds from registration support the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund, our partner foundation serving Florida's veterans.

Climb

110 stories. One step at a time. Open to first responders, veterans, and community members of every fitness level.

We climb because they could not come home. We climb because their families still wait. We climb because the work of remembrance never ends.
