To me there is a fine line between damaging a property and being creative. It is not as crazy as what some of you guys do, but I once unscrewed a corner of a board using only pliers, to squeeze through the gap I made. This took considerable time, and was in a rather exposed area, so it wasn't really crazy but it was really risky. and for those wondering, yes, I screwed the corner back up when I left. Which also took a lot of time and was risky.

well there is one i'm thinking of... but I'd need a ladder. Literally on a locked up building, there's an open window on the back of the place, and wanna know what? It faces an open field, right across from suburbia, so you'd more than likely be seen.




Every building and site has a story, and they are often of mistakes. Learn from them before they are gone forever.

How far will I go? Well, since I'm not short and stocky, I sometimes have to resort to rope. Here is a shot extracted from Implausib1e's 75mp GoPro of me pulling myself up a fire escape with the noose end of the rope tied to my foot:

It seems like if you fell, having that rope tied to your foot would make things much worse...

To contribute, my only "crazy" POE was at an old mill nearby. You used to be able to climb onto a train car that was parked below the offices, and from there onto a random platform that seemed to be there for that express purpose of getting in. The problem was the platform was a good 4 feet from the train car, so it took a committed stretch--almost a jump--to get there. One of my non explorer friends got the "elvis leg" (if you're a climber you know) because he was so nervous at this part.

A ladder from the platform led onto the rotting roof of the mill offices, where we had to tiptoe along to avoid falling through. Usually a hatch would be open from there to get in, but at least once someone had barricaded it shut so we had to continue climbing around on the roof for another entrance.

Now there are never any train cars parked there




"See you guys, you never listen to me. I said there was gonna be trouble but you didn't listen to me. You guys are crazy. You know, you guys are self destructive. There's a funny farm and it has your names written all over it. But I'm gettin' out of here. I'm... I smell ice cream!"

Not crazy so much as just stupid, but as a horribly inexperienced explorer, I once threw myself onto a stack of broken slabs of concrete with metal rods sticking out of them in an attempt to climb through a window.

Worst of all, I realized there was a POE accessible from the ground immediately after trying this.

Not too long ago there was a couple of spiderwebs in a doorway.

I almost did not make it.

The most I will do for a POE is inversely affected by the ideal exit.

If I have to scale barbed wire, climb up to a second floor or higher window, or traverse water deeper than thigh high I'll pass.

The "How I was impaled" thread might set a new low bar height to shoot for here...

I will pretty much do anything when i am determined to enter a place (but not break things), like my signature say:

"There is always a way"

I have climbed pretty much anything climbable, fear of height are not in the equation if i think i can do it.

I have got in the tinyest holes and sketchiest contorsion that my body would allow me (5'10, 175lbs)

But the nicest thing i can remember was entering a missile silo underground complex by a camera shaft.
It was not the craziest thing ive done but it was the coolest as a way to enter a place.

The hole was like 2 foot thick so there was no way to go out if you didnt have something to push you up with your feet, since your arms are straight up and you can't bend them to pull you out.
It took me 1h to finally decide that i was going down...i had a little bit of grip with my feet enought to get me confident.
Picture that i didn't know how deep it was or if once in, i had acess to anything else than that hole.

Here is the in and out.





Here is another one wich i think it's pretty much the most intense climb i did.
There was a box at the top of the antenna, at 250 meter, to get acces to the last part.
You have to open the door and pull yourself up onto the last part, there was almost juice coming out of my hand because i was clamping so hard on the bars lol.
It's a poe... to the sky!

Here is the album that goes with it.

So far, I have only had to climb through some small holes and jump down an open window. Other than that, I'm just getting started and most of my locations were wide open. But I'm not a huge fan of heights, so high climbs would be a no go for me.

Wow these are hardcore. Around here it's usually just the front door... I have a horror story involving a rope, some sewage and a spectacularly bad idea, but the worst part of all is it wasn't even an entrance after all!
