The Factory Building

It is tall. It is near these railroad tracks. It was a bitch to climb up there. The roof can be seen by people from a nearby workplace of some sort. Annoying.

Tree of Wisdun (Un-Wisdom)

Don't try this at home if your home is an abandoned rotting factory. I decided that with the help of this TREE(TM) i could get up near all that fire escape junk and climb up this building. Sometimes i question the wisdom of my actions.

Ropes!

Ya, someone left these sweet ropes here to make my climbing easy. And by "someone left these ropes" i of course mean that these unstable, swinging, probably held on at the top by mere twigs vines grew here. Anyway, i did the Tarzan thing. Where's my Jane?

Again, from the top!

So, here's the top looking down. Great, it looks like 5 feet, but it is actually quite tall. I recently lost like 20 lbs. and i swear it must have all been muscle. This was like reliving elementary school when i couldn't climb the "girl" rope with knots in it, never mind the big "boy" rope. Sexist gym teachers. Anyway, halfway up the lens cap of my camera came off, so i had to climb back down and back up again. Totally lame.

The top, with tracks.

Some railroad tracks. The same railroad tracks i took to get here.

What's that building over there?

It's made of stone and looks like some old English farmhouse/barn thing. It's probably filled with aweful chemicals. I find out later what's in there in my UE1 deal. Anyway, i climbed it, see? Oh, and those stairs over there only go down to a sub-roof. Not helpful. Also not helpful were the bunches of guys in construction-type outfits who i swear must've seen me that i kept seeing down below on the nearest street.

Down, down, down in that burning ring of fire.

Ok, so no fire. But, i almost jumped from the roof under those shoddy stairs to the other lower roof. From this perspective one can see that the little building thing is made out of brick and is probably nice and stable. From the top it looks like i'd do a cartoonish dive through the roof, ended in bones jutting out of my flesh. Instead i opted to climb from that precariously hanging pipe down to that little weird greenish box thing, then to that window in between the brick and other building thing, and then dropped to the ground. Ninja-style. Except without the black costume. Oh, and without the stealth that allows me to evade construction worker guys. I swore they were after me. Luckily, i was wrong.
