Because the weather in Illinois is unpredictable, we advise everyone, including spectators, bring water and sunscreen, and of course, dress for the weather. 

You're going to be walking down the side of a building, so wear good shoes. Well-fitting sneakers, light hiking boots, or other soft soled shoes are recommended. No sandals, slip-ons, slippers, flip flops, high heels, or steel toed boots are allowed.

Comfortable long pants (tights, athletic pants) or shorts are recommended. Long or short sleeve t-shirts are best. The harness goes around your legs, waist, and shoulders, so it is best to avoid anything too bulky. Shirts should be comfortable and without draw cords. Hair should be tied back. 

Any participant wearing a skirt should wear leggings, tights, or athletic pants underneath so that the harness can fit properly. You will be required to empty your pockets and leave droppable items like keys, cell phones, jewelry, with event staff/volunteers. 

You will be given a pair of leather gloves and helmet when you arrive. 

Sorry  - no phones, cameras, etc. on the roof. Helmet cams that operate hands-free are permitted if you have one and want to bring it. You must supply the mounting system. Go-Pro cameras are approved; all others will require preapproval. For safety reasons, nothing goes over the edge without OTE's approval.
