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. Do not visit this location during the day as visibility for students on the ground is very high. 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. If you're as small as I am, a simple rope thrown over the lowest loop can make this feat ten times easier, especially if you make a foothold. 

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