Rooftopping for Dummies < on 2/9/2014 4:26 PM > | Reply with Quote
Ive seen alot of Rooftop photos go up recently. It seems like the most difficult to get access to. Is there some guide or advice or locations for easy rooftopping?

I find that going to the top floor of the building is the best place to start. Use the stairs if power has been cut, because the elevator won't work in that case.
Once you're up there, there will either be a door that goes out to said roof, or there may be a hatch in the ceiling with a ladder going up to it.

I know it sounds like Bandi's being an ass about it but he really isn't (much). You don't need a guide, just pick a building (be realistic with your initial selection) and try. I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised.

NEVER EVER LET THE ROOF ACCESS DOOR CLOSE BEHIND YOU.
Unless you know it can be opened from the outside. Prop the door open. It's best if you go to a building where you know the roof is accessible. You'll have a bad time if you first door is alarmed.

The most important part of getting onto a roof for me has always been getting through the lobby. If there's security and you take the elevator up to the top floor, often it's a good idea to press a button for a lower floor as you're getting out.
