Posted by Corey Gunz I believe she was also drinking. I was at this place a few months back. I would have never even considered climbing the stacks given the condition of the rest of the building. And that was in complete daylight as well. Never drink and explore. Know your limits. This should be a learning experience for everyone.

I've climbed drunk... but I knew how to climb.
It was electric tower and I had a fool I didn't like 'chasing' me.
I was fixing to watch him fall; unfortunately cooler minds prevailed and he was talked down and barely made it back to earth.
I enjoyed that... and would do it again.
That said climbing and drinking don't mix well; you better be centered as hell if you do.
If you don't have experience climbing, that's not the condition to learn how to... as my shaken adversary learned... the easy way.
Used to climb a certain stand pipe water tank a lot, drink a six pack at the top, enjoy the view and chill.
I always kept a leg lock on the roof ladder though.
*disclaimer: this worked well for me, others may have varying results.
Lol, the Greek tank/bridge painters taught me steel climbing, and they wuv their whiskey... they were a tad crazy, but never got KIA and that's all the counts.
