Getting High
Over the years I’ve had the usual addictions, computer games as a kid, alcohol as a teen, cigarettes as I got older. However my latest addition is getting high, not through drugs but actually through being high up.

So now I climb things usually buildings or tower cranes. Of course this sort of thing is generally frowned upon so it has to be done in the dark; giving it an extra edge. The stupid thing is I’m actually not that keen on heights but I do it anyway. These days whenever I visit a new place the first thing I notice is the cranes tall buildings and without realising it I’m clocking the way in, planning my routes as if it’s the most natural thing in the world.

I broke my kneecap about 6 months ago and I continue to climb. To make things worse I have on a few occasions taken my camera and people really seem to like the shots I’ve taken – I’ve even been asked to do an interview with a journalist about my hobby / problem.

I need to stop. Especially as I someone who I care about a lot has asked me to….

You must be confusing me with those Fathers For Justice chaps ;-)

The shots are cool
I used to also frequent www.28dayslater.co.uk and they had some fantastic crane shots. I couldn't go that high up without wetting myself but vicariously through pictures was ok.

You may not need to stop
Just channel the urge. Move into doing it officially and with equipment. Maybe contact a local climbing club/organization. You might even be able to get sponsorship.
