it would be a lot cooler if you found some way to demolish it, that would do us all a favor ---

the only part that kinda got me about teh climb up was crossing from the joe cart over to the silo roof. its not like its really that much of a gap or anything, its just that i didnt know what to expect from the roof when i landed on it and the joe carts are way over built for what they are, the onlything on them that i would classify as at all weak was some of the tread retaining clips … but in all reality a 10mm bolt will support the weight of a person, and the treads are held on w/ eight 3/8 bolts, they aint goin anywhere ---

Concrete central is the biggest one, says “concrete central” on the very top i think its like a quarter mile long or some shit, cargills is another sweet one i can’t imagine seeing one of these places, let alone dozens, back in the day when they were working 24/7. ---
