	So I'm new. To the site, Urb-Ex, the whole thing. A friend and I started getting into exploration by getting on top of an abandoned parking garage and adjacent roofs, so as such, getting on top of any and all old roofs is close to our hearts. I'm looking for opinions on using such climbing apparatus as grappling hooks, climbing sticks and basically anything that could help us get higher, faster. Any reason why this wouldn't be a good idea? "Magic was in the air that night, the light fog and nightime city lights enhanced the stage of our find and gave a cinematic quality to something I knew few people ever would see. In these times there is not only excitement and adventure, but a sublime sense of liberation from the world and life. That night on our find we stood like newly crowned kings and realized that the city was ours."

	there are a bunch of threads in here covering climbing tools, grappling hooks, ect. just look around, use the search feature and all that. as for reasons why this wouldnt be a good idea... dont use anything that isnt reliable because of the whole falling thing... and it will be tough explaining those things to cops should you be caught with them. theyll probably be considered burglary tools. blah blah.

Pole vault.

Lol, speaking as a pole vaulter, I have often thought of using it in urbex, it would be rediculously impractical though.

Im a pole vaulter, and yeah, it would be seriously impractical, on so many scales...

I love doing things in which others have no idea even exist, dont you?

	I wouldn't worry about telling the cops what a stick is used for. Having a stick is not a crime. I would however find a better way to climb than a stick. That just sounds fairly useless. There may even be a better way if you look, there usually is more than one. I drink gasoline for breakfeast and beer for dinner!

	When you guys keep saying "stick" are you meaning a stick to pole vault? "Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more." -Mark Twain

	He said climbing stick, which is Latin for 'stick of which that helpesths ye climb' At least that's my best guess. I drink gasoline for breakfeast and beer for dinner!
