This was like 4 years ago. The year before last, I took my American friends and they struggled. I didn’t want to go again as it costs and I had recently been. I told them about the certificate and the staff tried to get out of giving them one! I found the view a bit meh. Here’s my post: http://jenikya.com/blog/2011/07/london-skyline-from-the-monume.html

Hey there! What an interesting fact, Selena! I am putting the certificate on my fridge 😉 Hope I see you soon. Saw you were at Memphis. It’s an incredible show. Loved it. What did you think?

I don’t think I could do it. I suffer from all of those things. But aren’t you proud that you did! 😀

Thanks, Tina! I can’t believe I didn’t realise ahead of time what it would involve. It’s a great thing to do if you don’t have ‘issues’ like I do. Never been to Statue of Liberty, but thanks for the tip!

I suffer from all the conditions you mentioned at the beginning of the post and that’s why I never had the intention of climbing The Monument – I can still remember how much I suffered when I went to visit the Statue of Liberty! And I was only 19 then! Glad you’ve made it well and safe! xx
