This one time we found this building totally secured except for the front door. We walked in.
|
Remember that time we had a group of 20ish walking into byberry with fireworks and booze while there was a huge prostitution sting going on with dozens of cops looking at us?
Good times...

| | | | Winter, -15 degrees F
- 10f barbed wire fence, jump
- 4 foot concrete wall, jump
- 15"x20" window, slid in sideways into coal silo
- climbed 90 ft through choking coal dust, popped plywood onto roof
- ran across catwalk
- popped a roof door to cross the roof
- ran down a roof ladder onto a neighboring building
- shoveled out a roof access door with ancient shovel
- squeezed through
- no ladder, so we climbed down a steel humphrey manlift frame 120ft to the basement
- in

Getting around 2 razorwire fences then clinging to the side of a bridge to cross a body of water before having to sneak accross an active nuclear submarine base and slide in through a long concrete chute into the basement of the target building.

| | | | You park your car outside an anonymous-looking door in the city with a metal roller shutter, slightly open at the bottom. Two of you use a car jack to widen the hole whilst two others sit in the car looking shifty.
You crawl through the 10" gap thus created, avoiding the bag of human excrement just inside. Stand up, curse, get back down on your belly and crawl under the Heras fence four feet inside the door.
On the first trip, at this point you're alone inside and everyone else proceeds to piss off for several car laps around the block since a whole crowd of taxis have turned up right outside. Oh, and from the car you can see the front door of a police station 200ft up the road, by the way. You spend half an hour wandering around piles of pigeon shit and 1800s ironwork, looking for holes in the floor and finding none.
Your colleagues haul their fat asses and their fat kit under the door and the fence and you all get up some nice spiral staircases, to a series of wrecked rooms. Some of the rooms have sash windows. One of them opens. There's a small section of flat roof outside, you go across, up onto the next bit of roof, and gingerly look over the edge... to find youself on the edge of a house-sized vent hole with two sets of rails at the bottom, four storeys down. Sit for a while, watching trains roll by and counting the seconds between.
Two doors in this part of the the roof lead into a lift machinery room, with decent I-beams in the ceiling. You rig off those, take the rope out, up, over the roof, and you all rap down the hole, landing six feet from the rails. Duck through a doorway into a small room to put the gear away.
Stop, look, listen, then step across six running rails, six live rails and a set of points to the derelict platform on the other side, which is what you came for.
Take some pictures, maybe.
At this point there are a few ways out. You could run down the tracks in either direction, a minute's sprint taking you onto the live platforms of the station of your choice. An unwise choice in this particular city, where cameras abound.
You could open a battered old door at the trackside, go up a tight spiral staircase and out a pushbar fire escape onto the street, 20 feet from your original entrance door.
You could jump a fence next to the track into a set of cellars full of huge mountains of salt, over another fence, up a ladder and out of a manhole on the same street which only opens enough for very thin people.
Or you could burrow behind one of the salt storage bins, through a 20" hole in a collapsing brick wall into a long series of arched cellars full of dirt, borken doors, rubbish, stagnant sewage and, in a new concrete block wall at one end, a plywood door, which is ajar. Peeking through the door, you can see what may or may not be a camera in a box pointed right over this way. The peeking becomes more staring, then more just opening the door and walking into a deserted fully-lit underground carpark. Trying really hard not to run screaming you sorta gently sidle around looking for a door, find the wrong one, turn around, run back, up some stairs and find yourself outside... down a ramp from the street and behind a 10ft spiked fence under another camera.
Swiftly over that, away down the road, and buy some juice from a milkman.
Around now one of your party realises he's lost his wallet, the day before he's due to fly to Russia. Where others would be curled up in a quivering ball he and his compatriot are all just... casually wandering back in the way they left to look for it. They find it at the bottom of the abseil. Seems those cameras aren't all they've cracked up to be...
I was more a tag-along tourist on these trips - full and significant respect to Zero, Alias, Dsankt, Johndoe, Stoop, Siologen, Quantum X and Snappel, international men of mystery and partners in crime.

| | | | I was... actively searching for a hole in the fence to a place, and got down into a dark corner, and went to work. As I'm doing that, a fireworks show starts. The people in the houses behind me all decided to walk out on their back porches and watch the show go off - WHICH WAS IN THE EXACT DIRECTION I WAS. So, I just waited until the big explosions, and did my noisy work then.
So yeah. A fireworks show goes off while I'm doing the riskiest thing about exploring, and somehow nobody notices me doin my thing.

| | | | Not too spectacular, but a tie between:
Climbing an external staircase and inching along a 3" decorative outcrop to access a broken second story window
or
Climbing through a hole in a wall, up a ladder to the second story, and down into the first.
Lame, I know, but those are the only times I couldn't basically walk right in.

The entrance to the theater you are talking about is NOT lame, it is awesome as hell! I LOVED the entrance there! It was soo much fun!
It seems like a lot of the most fun entrances tend to be in busy downtown areas of cities.

That's pretty awesome. Takes some real determination. Did you know how many digits the combination had?

Dude that was not lame that was pretty fun and well worth it I just wish that the ladder would not have hit the floor so hard when we were leaving. But that place was very cool I have only been to one other theater and yeah that one was bigger but this one had a lot of history and it was just all around cool and then after I turned the lights on it was just the much cooler. But then again that make shift fort the kids had built was pretty cool and funny to. I hope we can get together again in the near future CDSbigsby. Let me know if you want to come to Columbus as I have a few more new places to go to that I know you guys would like.

Pretty awesome. But the amount of birdshit + smell of rotting dead fish and crabs is almost unbearable.

I was pretty sure it had 4, but wasn't sure, so I started with those.
