Climbing the Fence
США
Добавлен 2 янв 2019
I am a Cleveland based photographer, author, and urban explorer. I have been exploring abandoned buildings, and tunnels, as well as climbing bridges and rooftops for roughly fifteen years, and I don't think I'll ever stop.
Climbing the Fence's first incarnation was a photo blog dedicated to documenting my photography and adventures. To me 'Climbing the Fence' not only describes an activity that I frequently do but also represents the idea of overcoming hurdles and pushing the boundaries of my career as a photographer and explorer.
While I am by no means a cinematographer and admittedly know very little about video, I find the challenge of learning a new medium enjoyable. Not only does it give me the chance to learn something new, but most importantly it gives me the opportunity to document these abandoned buildings in a new way. A way that hopefully helps to fully immerse the viewer in the location and the adventure more than a still image ever could.

Exploring and Biking the Abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike and Tunnels
Просмотров 4039 месяцев назад
The Abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike is a 13-mile stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike bypassed in 1968 and includes the Sideling Hill Tunnel and Rays Hill Tunnel. Today it sits overgrown and covered in graffiti but is open to the public to hike and bike. On the day that we were there there were a lot of other people on bikes, 4-wheelers, motorcycles, and hiking. Drone footage courtesy of @kayla...

Abandoned Nursing Home - Formerly a Mansion that Served as a Stop on the Underground Railroad
Просмотров 53810 месяцев назад
This nursing home was abandoned after a fire in 2012. The original part of the building was a mansion built by an abolitionist and was used as a stop on the Underground Railroad. The building was in far better shape than I'd imagined, even after over a decade of abandonment and multiple fires. There was a small amount of graffiti but otherwise very little vandalism. For the most part, the build...
Exploring a Historic Power Plant

Parts of this building date back to 1861, the same year the Civil War started. The plant eventually supplied power to the B.F. Goodrich factory in Akron, Ohio. At the time of filming demolition of this historic old building had already begun.

Exploring an Abandoned House - While It's On Fire
Просмотров 234Год назад
A very short and very different video from what I normally post but I still wanted to share the adventure with you. The local fire department invited me to come to a live burn training session they had after two abandoned houses were donated to them for training purposes. I am so grateful to have been invited to join them. I only wish I would have been able to get more footage before my GoPro o...

It’s not a large house but it is old and historic and has sat empty for the last few decades.
Climbing into an abandoned subway tunnel

It might sounds strange that you first have to climb up in order to get down into an abandoned subway tunnel, but that’s how it works! These abandoned tunnels haven’t been used in over 70 years.

Cleveland Night Photography - Creeping about at night, trains, tunnels, bridges.

Every year on New Year's Day, Jake and I spend the evening exploring the city doing long-exposure night photography. This year we hung out by the train tracks, under bridges, in a small old tunnel, and I climbed one of the city's famed lift bridges.

A few quick clips from a late night of creeping around the city and doing night photography.

Revisiting the 130 Old Power Plant. Ran Into Other Explorers!
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.3 года назад
Exploring what's left of a massive industrial complex that started out as a power plant back in 1888. Years of vandalism, and metal scrapping, have led to portions of the building collapsing. The first time I was here, over fifteen years ago now, the building was relatively difficult to access and hardly had any graffiti. Years of neglect and property owners who refuse to secure the building ha...
Exploring a Graffiti Covered Historic Abandoned Observatory in Cleveland Ohio
Просмотров 8383 года назад
This old Warner and Swasey Observatory was a gift from a couple of well-known Cleveland philanthropists. It was an incredible building in its day. Now it's just a shell, covered in graffiti and ripped apart by scrappers. I almost didn't bother filming this location given the condition that it's in but decided that it's still an interesting place and should be documented before it's gone. Equipm...
Abandoned Presbyterian Church with Strange Apartment Behind Pipe Organ
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.3 года назад
Abandoned churches are always neat to explore. It's wild to see such beautiful buildings left to fall apart and decay. Sadly, like many other big cities, Cleveland has quite a few of these abandoned churches. Out of all of the abandoned churches that I've explored, I've never seen one with an apartment directly behind a pipe organ like this. I've seen a handful of other churches with living qua...
I'll move there nice and quiet and peaceful
I’m with you! I’d love to live somewhere so quiet and peaceful like that!
The metal cupboards scream 1950s
Also, if you liked that you ought to try finding dines.its much smaller but still really cool to look at. However, because of the reclamation work it is something you would be unlikely to stumble onto if you didn’t get pointed in the right direction. I’ve been out there pre and post reclamation. Pre, was very easy to get onto and post is kind of annoying because you have to get there by non conventional means
1 Word... Desolate...
Did you see Urbex Hill's frightening experiences?
Where is the general area? It reminds me of a place here in Indiana that actually has a few cabins still occupied. Tiny one room places thak likely were part of an old motor court, converted to small homes. They are in a poor, semi industrial area in the city. They are kept pretty nice, good roofing and painted.
State, county, city? Any one will do.
This is more than just abandonment; looks like every one of these places have been ransacked.
Squatters' paradise.

Where's the entrance I'd like to go
I love how your generation loves the stuff my generation (Gen X) grew up with. Wish we could all go back in time.
What can I say? You grew up with better stuff.
thankyou i feel like im there uk granny xx
This is so cool, is this in Ohio?
Yes, this is in Cleveland.
@@ClimbingtheFence do you have an address I want to explore with my dad someday?
Not me my dudes. No freaking Way 😭. I don't even go into a andon houses in safe neighborhoods. I will sit on porches and stick my head in a window or something but I stay clear of dungeons my dudes
The upstairs worship area appeared to have plaques on the backs of the pews that probably told who donated each one and when. The prayer books and hymnals were still there. It would have been nice to see which versions/years they were from. But overall quite interesting.
Terrible photographer
I appreciate how respectful you are to the site. Also seems like a good idea to explore with a few companions! Noticed a lack of party evidence; must be too remote or just too creepy lol. Natural decay has its own beauty for sure. Thanks for the video, bet you got some cool photos!
Thats sad. Seeing all them books left to rot
I couldn’t agree more.
wow, rude of you to hog this song when I was asking for song ideas the other evening. :P
It’s a perfect song isn’t it?!? I don’t know why I didn’t think of it the other day.
If this was in Florida, there would be a whole underground city in there, with meth as its official currency.
I don’t think I’d want to bike through meth city.
COOL 👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎
Thanks!!
Great exploring and learning history lesson thanks for the video and for taking us along with you!
Absolutely. Thanks for watching!
This was a great adventure thanks for taking us along with you guys!❤🎉 Stay safe looking forward to the next one!
Cool i love tunnels! 😊
Me too! Tunnels are my favorite type of place to explore.
This was so fun!!! 🚲
It was so much fun! I’m ready to go back.
Thanks for the video 📹 upload. I really hope they start making biodegradable pads a shame to see all those packs of environmentally non friendly stuff around. I wonder if the Nursing home is located remotely
I would love ❤ to fix up these trailers and houses and cabins
Right? I would love to see this place all fixed up.
What The HELL Burn The Place Down This Is Discusting Where Is Everyone,? I HOPE THE PEOPLE ARE SAFE. AND WHO WAS RUNNING THIS PLACE IS IN PRISON FOR THERE MISCONDUCT ON HUMANITY HIGH CRIME😢
So cool! 😮
Thanks! Love these old historic places.

How much of what's in this video is still standing? That big open room is incredible, Im not too far from here and would love to photograph it if it's still there.
I’m not sure. I haven’t been by there since filming this, but they’re moving fast.
How long ago was that?@@ClimbingtheFence
10:13 whispers “Behind You.” Was there someone else with you?
It does sound like that but I was by myself. There were a lot of outside sounds like wind and trains and people walking outside. I didn’t hear it while I was in there but I did hear a loud thud that sounded like it was down the hall, that’s the sound I react to in the video.
I herd it to
Were you able to find any history on this place you'd be willing to share? I visited quite a few times and have been looking for information. Sadly I have come up empty. Thanks in advance!
I haven’t found much unfortunately. Off the top of my head I can’t remember the exact details but all I really know is that it changed hands and changed denominations a few times before eventually closing. Neat little church though.
Excellent Fence Climbing. 👍🎦👍🎦👍🎦👍
Thanks!
WOW DUDE - THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS --- YOUR EFFORT IS APPRECIATED.
This is so so cool. why does this video have 50 views??? this place looks straight out of a game. so cool!!!!!!
Hey, thanks! I'm glad you liked it so much. It was definitely a neat place to explore. I wish I would have had more time in there.
That is amazing, great work!
Thank you!
Anyone check these tunnels for the.missing kids
I grew up in Rock Springs. This video took me back to so many memories. I learned to drive on that road headed out to Winton. I also learned how to shoot a rifle out there. In my high school years, we frequently went out there to party. Many bonfires out there. Thanks for sharing the video.
That area of Wyoming is beautiful. I had never there before. Neat that you actually grew up visiting Winton. Sounds like you had lot of fun. Thanks for watching the video!
It's sad seeing the aquarium like this
I couldn’t agree more.
Man old trailers had really skinny hallways
We think we have it better now. Better morals better technology etc. But do we really. I say overall no. Judging by the comments I have read and everything I have seen an overwhelming amount of people think and believe that we all long for the simpler things and simpler times. The closeness of our communities. Just plain family and life. Cheers where everybody knows your name and you know your neighbors. Thank you for sharing this video and thank you to everyone for sharing your opinions. I recently lost my dad to cancer. I have a cousin who is in recovery with cancer and I myself have thyroid cancer. Running into this video has put a smile on me and my 6 kids face. Thank you.
I would agree with you. And thanks for watching the video, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for the video it's a crying shame that people had to be so disrespectful
I agree. Thanks for watching!
How very odd!
Are you not able to drive the whole way?
I’m sure we could have but with places like this I’d rather get out and walk so that I don’t miss anything.
If you follow the road you came in on, it winds a bunch into the hills in the background. Eventually it goes up to a way way steep hill that you can’t see the other side of while you’re driving on it so if you take it because very very careful because you can easily drive off the edge
@@michaeljewkesjr8101 that sounds like a fun road!
Great video! Whenever I see an abandoned house in the woods with the trees consuming the house, I always wonder about the people that lived there. What did they do for a living? What would they consider to be a "good" day? What did a "bad" day look like? What did they do for fun? What made them cry and laugh?
Thanks! I’m the same way. I’m always looking for little clues to give me some insight into who the people were and what they were like.
Did u ever do the abandoned hotel in Independence behind the Mexican restaurant?
Take me please @therealeffindeal
