## Resource

Two hundred first responders and military personnel scale the brutal Manitou Incline on Friday to honor the 25th anniversary of 9/11, paying tribute to the 343 firefighters who perished. Wearing full gear, they tackle the steep 2,000-foot climb while alarms mark each pivotal moment of that day — from the first plane strike at 6:46 AM to the collapse of the towers and Flight 93’s crash. A solemn memorial begins at 6:30 AM, followed by a powerful, physical tribute that closes the trail to the public until 9 AM. It’s not just a climb — it’s a visceral, emotional reenactment of courage in the face of unimaginable horror. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
