For example a climber friend of mine from Westchester, NY was working in the world trade center back on 9/11. He was able to save his life as well as a few others with his climbing skills: he was able to climb out the window on a ledge and then down to safety unharmed and he helped a few coworkers.

2. So has anyone done buildering? Photos? For fun, did you just to scale a building you like (what equipment did you bring, ropes, gear etc.)?

I've done Archimedes @ Rice U. then I had to get off fast, because campus police was coming. It was a nice limestone relief. I do like that huge granite slab in the courtyard. No documentations of the buildering that I have done for fear of persecution.

you are full of shit

This story raise my eyebrows in suspicion as well. the only reason to go out on a ledge would have been if he was above the fires which means that he should have written a book or a made for TV movie by now.

Ever heard the name Alain Robert?

What about the Archimedes relief on the Abercrombie building at Rice University? Does this count?

I didn't save any lives, but, if the ladies restroom, on which I intruded necessarily as a matter of my 'descent,' was in peril, you can bet I would've have answered the call of duty!

And that's no small feat; those louvers are a bitch!

My son, <clears throat>, um...ah...has a been involved, ah...a bit, with buildering and documenting it. Here's two documentaries he made while at university:

I used to do tons of buildering on a building at the University of Wisconsin in Whitewater. The building had hundreds of feet of rock walls for traversing on tiny holds, as well as roofs, chimneys, bear-hugs, laybacks. Unfortunately, when they remodelled and expanded the building they eliminated 90% of the climbable features.

Thanks for the link the jessepaulding.com 2nd one was very impressive. He has some beautiful photography. Looks like you got him into climbing and chose to buildering as well.

My friend that survived 9/11 was a active climber and was on a low floor . As a New Yorker I am especially sensitive to the terrorists that destroyed the World Trade Center and the area around, and devastated many lives.
It is unimaginable to try to understand the fear and complete terror that never will be forgotten or forgiven .
Once again survival skills whether its buildering or underground safe basements are a reality in this environment.
It is lucky my friend was able to climb even out of a low floor with the panic that set in on 9/11
( Any negative remarks should be kept to yourself. I am a New Yorker and lived there during that time, and am sensitive to the loss and shock)

Jtree is in new york? maybe i need a geography lesson

BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT

Maybe a READING COMPREHENSION CLASS- I am from NY. I grew up there, went to hs, college, worked there then I moved about 1 hour north of NY.
If you look at my profile, I climbed at the Gunks in New Paltz NY,
The climber I reference worked in NYC and lived in Westchester NY. He was in the World Trade Center working when 9/11 occurred.
He managed to climb out of a window, he was terribly traumatized , he stopped doing everything afterwards. He was devastated by the horrific events. I I lived about 1 hour away from the WTC in 2001, I knew alot of people who lost friends, family and had to relocated. As a community we helped the area was unhealthy due to asbestos.
My climber friend was suffering enough, he was in shock and didn't want to leave his apartment or his daughter for months afterwards.
In 2002 I drove across the country to the west coast, and climbed in various areas on my profile. I spent the summer on a 4 month road trip.
I did visit Joshua Tree a few times before I relocated out here for vacations. In addition once I moved to California I went to Joshua Tree for climbing and other areas in the west coast , and Squamish in Canada.
I don't care if you believe me or not. I am a New Yorker and in my heart and soul this is the truth. Why didn't my friend climb out the window, I don't know but it was a panic situation. People are trying to escape and he was lucky to be alive.

You seriously build anchors and stuff?
