Rosewood Manor

We found this old nursing home completely by accident. While on our way home from another location, I joked about the exterior of a building looking easy to climb. ClimbingDoug stopped the car, and we decided to give it a go. We were thinking it was still an active building, due to lights inside, until we got close enough to realize it was a building under renovations. Pretty empty, but a cool little find none the less.
















I Missed It

It had been a while since we'd dropped by the East Side Rail Tunnel, so ClimbingDoug and I headed out for some steel wool spinning fun.

Above The City Pt. 2

Another night, another climb. This time around, ClimbingDoug and I failed at the majority of the rooftops we tried, due to problems with traffic, sawed off ladders, and police questionings. We found this rooftop first. Pretty cool view.


This was the only other rooftop we hit that night, and it was one of the sickest we've found in the city thus far. We found it while we were on our way to the highway to head home, and it was just screaming our names. We stopped and in less than a minute we were 9 stories up enjoying the view.













Back To The Training Center

Cambria and I visited this training school with a few friends last week, and then headed back this week with Catherine and ClimbingDoug. We checked out the old civil war hospital first, and then moved on to a few of the other buildings before running out of sunlight.
