Here are a couple that are no-longer doable, so I don't feel bad about revealing / hinting at them

-Over a fence, into a grain silo, up a long stairway, across a skyway, into a tower, down another stairway, past the homemade tripwire alarm set up by guards, through the main building, watch teenagers getting busted by cops in the parking lot, down another stairway, into the boiler room, down a tunnel, through a manhole, into a cave, through another tunnel, into the sewer.

-In a manhole, under a truck scale, through a hatch into a sump, up into an office, through a window into a garage, across several parked trucks, up a pile of tires into another window, up a broken-down manlift (beltovator), out a door onto a low roof, up an exterior ladder, into another window several floors up, up an internal stairway, across a conveyor bridge, up another stairway, and finally onto the roof.




Nice! Ive done both of those too!

A few months back we made it our goal to get into a local factory. We only knew that the way in was on the side by the railroad tracks, on the other side of which is a active factory.

We walked up a set of stairs from the road onto a platform of sorts, which was level with the 1st floor of the building. It's a solid 20 foot drop down to the ground level and we can't really see if the platform has any holes or weak spots because they are covered with a few inches of snow. After searching on both levels for away in and not finding anything we made a last ditch effort and tried a duct coming out of the wall about halfway between the ground level and first floor.

To get to it we needed to climb over a small wooden fence with some barbed wire shoddily wrapped around it. Then balance on a lip a few inches wide coming out of the side of the wall. This was covered in snow and ice to, of course. Despite out best efforts to be quite we made a massive racket climbing through the duct. Luckily the factory next door was making even more of a racket. Ended up being one of the most memorable entries I've made into a building.


I was literally just coming here to post that place...those who know where it is and have done it know how sketchy it is - one slip and you're done!

It's sealed up good and proper now as far as I know though.

Another one from home turf here..one of the more crazy ones of recent years. We climbed over a tall metal security door topped with spikes at the base of an external fire escape outside a wine bar in the middle of a large city. Climbed up the fire escape stairs to third storey level, before we climbed over the guard rail of the stairs (at a diagonal angle remember) and stepped across a ~ two foot gap to an adjacent rooftop. We then walked across two slippery icy roofs and down a long ladder into a light well in the middle of the cluster of buildings, and through a window into the building.

Totally worth it...

The roof of the location in question had fallen in, but the wall was still mostly intact. It was made brick, cinder blocks, and cement, which is important. It looked like someone had taken a sledgehammer to the cinder blocks, making numerous fist- size holes that went partway through the wall. The wall was probably about 15 feet tall.

I used the holes as hand and footholds to scale the wall, and then braced myself on a crumbling brick support. I was able to lunge upwards to grab the top of the wall by my fingertips. From there, I had to shimmy horizontally about a dozen feet, again holding on by my fingertips.

I was able to reach part of the partially collapsed roof, and used it to haul myself up until I was straddling the wall. From there, I slid down a fallen support beam someone had leaned against the interior side of the wall, and reach the ground from there.

Mines and caves are always the sketchiest for me. I'm not very claustrophobic but I don't think you have to be for caving to be terrifying, it's the fear of collapse that gets to me far more than a tight squeeze and a few dozen spiders.

This mine (and most mines I come across) was flooded with about a foot of water and I forgot my gum boots that day. Ended up hauling a long 2x12 into the mine, floating it down the shaft, and propping it up on rocks to use as a bridge.



This cave system is extremely tight, the vast majority of tunnels are just big enough to crawl through on your belly and many of them are vertical. I always enter caves feet first and look downward toward them with a head lamp, it's much more difficult to crawl backwards out of a tunnel and much more painful to brace an impact with your face.



Couldn't resist the chance to see the view from the top of this processing mill, ended up using a rusty old ladder on the back of the silo from the rooftop rather than scaling the conveyor.



And of course broken window entry is never fun, well, until you're inside.

A few days ago I slid through a small gap under a fence that I could not climb. I don't know if any part of me or my garments touch any of piles of human excrement, but I think my jacket did.

probably running along the length of a highway bridge under construction with bikes. Thank god no cops drove by and that my friend noticed that there a big ass hole underneath the tarps I almost ran across. This all happened because we were too lazy to bike the extra 5k up river and around to the site we were planning on going to that day.

I was in a active train tunnel, the Black Rock Tunnel about 1900 feet long a few years back. Freight trains use it and come through at about 35 MPH, estimated. There's a curve on the one end before the tunnel that conceals trains coming from that direction until they are almost at the entrance.
One got the drop on me one day when I was about 300 feet, maybe more (shit!), from the other end of the tunnel.
I -hate- dropping to the bedrock and kissing gravel trying to hug a tunnel wall so... I did something I normally wouldn't do or advise...
I ran down the center of the tracks centering my foot falls on the ties to beat the train out of the tunnel.

Looney tunes funny to do; I realized the insanity of it as the train was closing as I knew it would. A pure adrenaline rush. A misstep probably would have been fatal; I had a couple seconds lead left by the time I cleared the tracks.
I don't regret doing it only because I pulled it off

That's one of the sketchiest egresses I ever did.

Mookster Me and scattergun did the PO last year i think was still doable was a lot of fun on a Friday night with all the youngsters out partying the bouncers all eyeing you up lol


October was it was this avoiding treeline PIR , a laser grid as well As mr security with Possible workers inside and topside it was a nervous exciting challenge


Last week was Germany doing a lot of Coal mines and colliery's where guys always seamed to be on site or playing cat and mouse with Security, For this one 2 guards with dogs off the leads and torches we just got to the fence when a super torch was turned on but he was miles away walking out way, Oblivious we still got on site and out without trouble Top the winding tower


Seam to be doing a lot off sketchy things just now

One time I made a collapsible ladder by slapping a bunch of 2x4's together, and putting a large steel hook on the end, to climb into the second story of an abandoned apartment block. The place was torn down a few days, later.

Not really to get inside the building, but the sketchiest path was actually inside the building. In the sub basement to get into the lower level. You have to climb an elevator shaft about 10-13' up, while climbing on a bunch of junk at the bottom. There is an old chair on top of it all. Once you hoist yourself up onto a beam, then you need to slide past these big welded bars that were put in place to block the way in. Doing all of this while an old elevator hangs just 20' above the elevator entrance.

Both are potential disasters... when shit goes wrong, it goes bad fast.

I climbed down the framework of 2×4's that made up the interior wall of the living quarters of a Atlas F site a few years back. Someone had cut the steel stairs off about 15 feet above the bottom. The wood was in question Al condition, lol, and that was the only way in or out.
Damn if I be denied from full access!
No issues other than first not seeing the missing stairs; ended up sitting on my ass on the last step, legs dangling in the air with a death grip on the hand rail.
Fast reflexs are that saved me that time. No one knew where I was, and cell phones don't work in harden silos
Fun times.

Hanging onto and climbing sideways on a chain link fence like a spider monkey - where there just so happens to be a giant cement hole below you. Basically if you fell off the fence, you were NOT getting out of that hole..

Friend's dad took us offroading up in the mountains, found an old abandoned [AREA] so we explored. Getting in was easy- there wasn't even a door; just an empty hole. getting far was the hard part, the entrance connected to the [AREA] via a long ass tunnel bridge about 30 feet up. The place was built in the 40s I believe, so we had to make our way across the rickety, swaying, sketchy bridgetunnel one by one. I felt like Indiana Jones in that one scene in the third movie. No injuries that day, but the jeep suffered a bit of chassis damage (damn jeeps)

it was a church reno. my buddy had mentioned the roof was doable. it was about 9pm and there was scaff to climb. we noticed one guy in building but didnt seem like a problem. we got about 2 levels up the scaff and guy comes out for smoke. so now we just hide in the shadows until he is finished. coast looks clear 2 more levels. all of a sudden people start pouring out of the curch. i didnt know they had services that late, so here we are on scaff 3 or 4 levels up standing still as can be just hoping we dont get spotted by anyone. about 20 mins for everyone to say their goodbyes and it was go time again. this time we made it to the top

Wanted to explore an abandoned plating factory, but all the doors were welded shut and the windows had bars over them and were boarded from the inside. We ended up jimmy-rigging a grappling hook, climbing onto the roof, which was caving in at parts. Then had to rappel down into the factory. Well worth it though, still my favourite trip to date.
