Ken Laurie has climbed the Sky Tower, the tallest building in the southern hemisphere, for three years running.
This year will be his fourth, and last. Laurie, 54, will be taking part in the Firefighter Sky Tower Stair Challenge on May 22 and is hoping to beat his personal best time at the annual fundraiser for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand.
