As a teen I used to love climbing things. Not trees and garage roofs, but really dangerous shit. I had some friends, we did this together, and even created our own climbing club. We gave ourselves nicknames, I was ’‘Skycrawler’’. Lol. We also had a creed; never climb something if you think you can’t, and never climb something if you think you won’t be able to get down. Inevitably, those were always ignored…now while it was stupid, we WERE pretty good, considering all the dangerous things we climbed.
There were these few bridges, and we’d climb underneath them, with the help of the railing and things. You’d be right over the river, with pigeon nests everywhere. Also in the menu was a communication tower. It’s straight up with a ladder, but it got pretty damn high. Also, a construction crane, where the higher you go, the more oily everything is. A friend and I climbed up there, then to celebrate our victory, we wanted to have a smoke up top. But it was freakin cold and way too windy. We climbed a lot of stuff that could have got us killed. Big buildings, church roofs, billboards.
I think about that now and I’m like, god how lame were we. But you get such a rush doing this shit lol. But no one ever got hurt, and we never got arrested, although I can count a few times where death came kind of close. :/
Also one time we were in this building, riding the elevator. It was reputed for being shoddy and always breaking down, so, since we’re so smart…we started jumping up and down in the elevator, to see if we could break it. And it stalled. So we were stuck in, but we pried the door open. When it got opened, a floor was presented to us, right in our faces. So we had to squeeze through a little hole to get underneath the floor, and get out. Which was completely stupid, because if the elevator decided to drop while getting out, that would have been the end of one of us. Although I suppose if it had dropped while we were in it, that would have been no better.
