Wolffkran Trolley Jib Tower Crane, Runcorn – November 2010
 
We didn’t even mean to climb this, We wanted the chimney for the new incinerator being built. Before we knew it high vis was next to us. ‘Want to go up lads?’.

The answer was yes but the dudes boss was quickly on his tail telling us to disappear before the security spotted us, They weren’t bad guys but they gave us away about 30 mins later...

I climbed the tallest crane on the site with Sui & OneByOne a few weeks back, I’d met up with Aos & Appo this time and so we cracked the smaller tower crane.

Standing at 160ft with pretty much flat ground surrounding the base, Coated in bright white paint it wasn’t long before the chimney workers spotted us. A few waves were exchanged and we climbed to the base just as security popped around the corner.

After some white lies we were free...

We span 180 degrees whilst sat ontop so I didn't get any others.

Cheers, Gone...

I've been watching that chimney go up, a few metres every day. Looks like it's going to be a bit big.
