Really isn't that much left after all the scrapping, but it's still a great view from the top! click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view click to view Is that snow or asbestos?

The graffiti here has been crazy in the last couple of years, though.

Not really sure what's left, but it seemed like they started to take the stairs at some point.

I guess to try and stop the scrapping, etc. Obviously that doesn't work, and there are still two intact staircases to the roof (one in the middle of each tall building).

Say what? Of all the dozen+ times I've been there, I've never found an intact staircase past level 7 in the east tower. We climb the stringers. Guess I'll have to look better next time! http://www.urbex12.com jonrev  Location: Lake Wazzapamani Gender: Male Observer of obsolesence  |  |  Re: Brach's shot on a potato <Reply # 8 on 5/16/2012 12:14 AM >   Posted by Captain Stormy Say what?

I could be wrong, then... the first time I went I found an intact staircase in the middle of the east tower but because of time we didn't go all the way up. Second time we went straight for the roof and ended up in the west tower. Unless something's changed in the last year that staircase should be fine. I just assumed the center stairwells were left unmolested.

The East tower has nothing past level seven or eight. However, the rails step-holders are in decent enough shape if you're up to the task of climbing up them.
