Hamilton stair master Walter Decker, 99, completes CN Tower climb for 3rd time

TORONTO — A 99-year-old Hamilton man climbed 1,776 steps to the top of the CN Tower over the weekend, his third time pulling off the accomplishment in support of charity.
Walter Decker was joined by his son, grandson and two great-grandsons at the United Way ClimbUP on Saturday, where he raised more than $3,000 for people struggling to meet basic needs from housing and food to mental health supports.
Decker, who turned 99 last week, said he first began stair climbing more than 10 years ago
