I'm an Iowa Stater, too. Haven't done the rope access thing yet, my interest is sparked.

Rope access? meaning you throw ropes up and climb up three stories? Never heard of that before...

|  | | | Basically, rope access is going places with ropes (and other climbing-type technical gear) that you can't access through normal means. Be it throwing grapples and climbing the rope (generally a bad idea, VERY dangerous), or rappelling from a high point to a lower one, or any other approach. Great fun if you can do it safely, stupid as hell if you can't.
An example from a few years ago:
Say I'm on top of an old water tower. There's a hole in the top, but no ladder down. How do I get inside?
a) Jump down the hole (bad)
b) Haul a ladder up to the top and lower it in (bad)
c) Lower myself on a rope, and then climb the rope back out when I'm done. (easy, given the right equipment)

| | | | I'm SnS. Since I rarely leave this city, I do all of my exploring in Rockford, IL. It's a decent sized city, somewhere in teh 160,000 range. Since most of the city expanded outward from the river district, there are plenty of cool buildings left to explore.
Personally, I prefer exploring drainage tunnels more than anything. Everywhere I lived as a child had numerous tunnels near them, so I don't have problems crouching through them for hours. Right after tunnels, I enjoy exploring abandoned buildings since the city is full of them.
I've only recently put together a group of ragtags to scout the city and it's many sites. Hopefully I'll get some photos tonight or this week.

Brewery country. I hear that security on that whole area is getting pretty wise to UE, too.

| | | | Hi there.
Name's wing nut. New to this site, but have been exploring for a while now. I hail from the central Ohio area, so I have done most of major exploring in Columbus. I've got to say, this is one of the most active UE forums around. Hope I can contribute some useful info. Anyone in my area who wants to meet up sometime, give me a message.

| | | | Hi, I'm from the Lansing and Detroit areas of Michigan. My boyfriend have been exploring for about a year. We've never really tunneled; tend to stick to abandoned (or mostly abandoned) schools, factories, power plants, train stations, etc and always looking for more.

| | | | Hi. I moved to Minneapolis for college a year ago. I came from Des Moines where I use to get into old farm houses with my Dad. I have gotten into a few places around the Twin Cities with my friends. I love using the inspiration I get and the photography in my art. Looking forward to being active in this community and contributing pictures and information.
