Note: The Empire State Building in NYC is (IMO) still the most iconic skyscraper in the US. I use the observatory as the benchmark, 102 floors and 1250' from ground level. In other words, the elevation gain from the ground floor to 102nd floor using the stairs (1860 steps).

Recommended water amounts are what I actually used. The total is a combination of water/sports drink packed in or filtered. I probably drink more water than most people. Adjust amounts according to season.
