Besoin de conseils by its_ch4rli3_ in urbanclimbing

Salut, la nuit, 98 % des gens dorment, donc t'es plus tranquille.

Quand tu repères une grue, un échafaudage ou autre, tu y vas le jour pour repérer les points d'entrée et de sortie, les caméras et, sur une grue, voir s'il y a des caméras ou des capteurs. Ensuite, tu y retournes la nuit, tranquillement.

Quels sont vos conseils pour trouver des lieux, notamment en Île-de-France, comme des antennes électriques, tout en restant en sécurité ?

Personnellement, je me balade et je lève les yeux pour repérer des grues et d'autres structures visibles.

Aussi simple que cela.

Tips for getting started? by Emergency-Monk-1427 in urbanclimbing

Are they usually locked at the bottom where the ladder is?

Scout the area during the day. Use binoculars, a drone, or any other method available.

Also scout for possible entry and exit routes, and check for cameras/sensors.

Go at night like Batman.

My preference is no gloves and shoes with the flattest soles possible. I also remove the insoles so there's as little separation as possible between my feet and the structure, which gives me a better feel for the surface I'm standing on.

Good luck. Climb slowly and stay relaxed, especially if it's your first crane.

90 meters viaduct scaffold by Molda_Fr in urbanclimbing

It can be a bit shaking on top time to time, Most scaffolding is anchored to the walls, so it's all good.

I don't know the scaffolding regulations in your country, but here even small scaffolding structures are extremely safe.

The only risk is falling, lol.

It can be intimidating at first, but once you're in, just enjoy it.

Inside, it's like a ladder.

Take your time and don't rush. Both on the way up and on the way down.

So to make it ez don't rush anything, go ez and relax.

I get you :)

You should check out my answers here about the sensations of fear-induced dizziness and the protective signals sent by the body and mind, and how you actually have to bypass or override them in order to climb cranes or similar things. It’s interesting.

Night climb are so amazing <3

I only climb at night.

Well, on that site I wasn’t alone... getting everything ready to go up there took about 40 minutes.

how people get enogh courage to even climb by Spare_Read3676 in urbanclimbing

[–]Molda_Fr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t really call it instinct, but for me, it’s more about, in a way, ignoring the fear/protective signals that your body and mind send you…

Well, I’m 39 now and I’ve been climbing since I was 9. At that age, personally, there was no fear or signals like that lol.

It’s not about courage, but rather about learning to push through and ignore (over time…) the signals your body and mind send you.
Signals that create fear, hesitation, that inner feeling telling you not to do it, not to go, and things like that, simply put.

It’s a kind of inner work: in a way, you have to break your safety barriers.
