Yes, Pat, we certainly do still hand certificates out for climbing. They were initially intended for kids, but we realized that many adults wanted them as well; so just ask for yours at the desk! We are currently closed for restoration; plans are to reopen sometime in spring -- please keep checking out web site. There are 84 steps, with the last 13 being an open metal rung ladder leading into the lantern room. A little challenging, but well worth the view!
