As if the universe, or in this case, the bunker, was made to work against him, Jimmy had to climb a total of one-hundred sets of square spiraling stairs, just to get to the tower that Terrence was giving grave importance to!
As a man who was used to taking elevators back on Earth, he wasn't used to climbing stairs, not at all. Paired with the fact that his caveman body wasn't meant to climb stairs either, it took him nearly two hours to make it to the top!
If he had been any more willing to climb the stairs, or in this case, experienced, it wouldn't even take him an hour to climb to the top, but his body quit on him. Although he had an albeit athletic body, he still got winded quite easily. He had to take ten short breaks, and three long breaks, just so he wouldn't pass out.
