1) They tell you when you sign up, no handicaps that prevent stairs.
2) No excuses.
3) The roof is not handicapped accessible.
4) You get to roof
. . . elevator to 7th floor
. . . walk to roof stairs
. . . double-flight of stairs to roof
. . . single-flight of steep stairs to upper roof where flags are located
5) It may sound cruel, but you are about 95 feet up and down.
6) On the good side, you get views of four parks from there.
7) bring your cameras and camcorders.
NOTE: Having climbed the steps too many times, sometimes handicapped folks show up expecting to do flags, and we tell them no. They might get upset, but that is the way it is. The simple rules are:
. . . must respect the flags
. . . must be able to climb steps unassisted
. . . must not have more than six in your party
You will also might get asked about
. . . controlling young kids, so they don't wander or panic at the height
. . . controlling mentally challenged, so they climb or don't panic
. . . controlling those fears of heights, since you look straight down
