Report - Getting High in Chi-Town, September 2015

[mookster]

I'm no rooftopper - in fact it's one thing I have never really thought of doing. But the opportunity to do a trio of Chicago high-rises was too good to pass up. All would require the strange combination of stealth and full-frontal blatant assault as all were being done in daylight hours - and in the end two of the three worked out - the third one we were busted almost as soon as we stepped foot in the lobby of the building.

The first successful one was the baby of the three, standing a shade under 40 storeys tall. We had to be careful up top as there was a huge glass skylight that looked down directly into the top floor gym/swimming pool area, but all was good.

After a full-on day of exploring we returned to the downtown area in early evening and headed up the second one for sunset time. This was a much taller structure standing 60 storeys tall, and after the aforementioned combination of stealth and full frontal assault we got to the top.

So there we are - will I do any more rooftops? Probably not. I prefer my explores to have peely paint and sketchy floors - but it's always nice to do something different every so often.

That's different and something I'd like to do one day too, just to say I've done it.
Great pictures them man.

Really nice pictures man, the views look awesome, there is something almost voyeuristic about being that high up and looking down into windows like in picture 8, always expecting to see some spanking or something going on
