Funny how something like this gets built with enough thought for an elevator ,but after that has some interesting obstacles and transitions to climb around and over.

You need to be up there and feel the buzz when your foot slips or something, the adrenalin rush is out of this world, even when ropedTo be honest I really miss climbing, but I'm just not supple / flexible enough any more. The feeling of achievement when you've done a route, even if only a few feet off the floor, is tremendous
You should try some low climbs, you may enjoy it.

The tallest Tower/Stack I've climbed is 360' ( Thermal Oxidizer ). The top of it swings about 12 ft in a stiff breeze, very disconcerting, that was in my younger days. We used to haul stuff up, just to throw it back down, watermelons. Grapefruit, ect.
Can't seem to talk myself into it anymore, last time I tried to climb our Flare Stack 160' high, I only made it to about 120ft before my hands refused to take me any higher.
