The New York Times Climbers
Posted by Julio Hernandez-Miyares under New York City Skyscrapers
Here I am at the Top of the same building climbed by Alain Roberts and the other dude from Brooklyn this past week.
I made it up in the conventional style.
I watched them build this skyscraper from the foundation all the way to the pinnacle. It was a thrill to get to the top while they were still working on it though the ironworkers had long since departed.
In the second photo you can spot the “ladder” like skin to the building which made climbing it a cinch to anyone crazy enough to try. The building is covered in its entirety.
Now if someone can get me to the top of the new World Trade Center Tower 1 (aka Freedom Tower)!
