Roof of Swift Hall - Northwestern University

3/18/2017

0 Comments

 

Overview

One of campus' few accessible roofs, Swift Hall is a central location on campus to climb and explore. This can be a good thing, because it offers a unique view of Northwestern at night, but it is equally dangerous. If you see someone that appears like they have spotted you... you probably want to climb back down *swiftly.*

Instructions

The roof can be accessed via a fire escape ladder that hangs from the Northern half of the back of the building. This last segment of this ladder is almost always secured, but motivated or tall students can still grab a hold and pull themselves up. 

And of course, you might get lucky and find the ladder hanging down, as shown in the picture.

Overview

Next time you're by Storms Driving Range, walk around to the back and take a right to see the most well-built tree-house in town. A second, smaller one lies nearby as well. Coordinates: 43.042407, -88.109729

Overview

​If you're afraid of heights, keep scrolling: this site marks the highest climbing structure I've been to. Climb a 30-foot ladder to the top of an old grain mill to see the blaze of city lights all around, then climb down to investigate the eerie glow of old boating buildings and other, less impressive towers.

Directions

​Park at Piggly Wiggly (6111 W Mequon Rd #2) or Central Bark and walk across the train tracks pictured, over the fence, and into the site, 43.218846, -87.986082. Climb over the pile of rocks to get to the rest of the site. It's a pretty big area to explore. The tower that you can climb should be obvious when you get there. Pictures below will help you identify the climbable structures.
