Hey Peter! I've done that light-fixture overhang problem at UCSC! I bet the stucco is cracked off by now.
I think Garrison also did that chimney (on the Science Bld?), without the rope. Hey Marty, didn't you show those to me? Cheers...

Late entry...
UCSD Muir Dorms, Circa 1992 (up to 6th floor only- I chickened out before completing the 10th floor):
Does "craning" count?
... About 200+ feet up a T-crane, out the arm, and slide down the steel cable to the ball, suspended over the construction site of the Revelle Biology building (then hand-over-hand the steel cable back up):

Alpine,
You sure have entered some great shots.
That next "under the bridge" shot is cool too.

Thanks. I love to shoot climbing - even in Florida. That first under the bridge shot took me at least 30 hours to equip (bolt up the holds and hangers) so someone could climb it and I could shoot it. I had the vision of the shot first and then made it happen. I guess its not technically buildering since its "manufactured."
My next target is a lonely boulder(old fort remnant) on a perfect desolate island - waterfront, white sand, palm trees, you know - the good stuff. Lots of access issues so its a toughy to shoot.

At one time, the ceiling beams in the Kain hut at the Bugaboos were pairs of parallel 2" x 12" planks. They crossed the ceilings on the second floor sleeping loft, and were perhaps 16' long. Probably about a dozen sets of such, each forming a roof crack of slightly differing widths. All hand size.
One rainy day project used to be to pile up all the foamies in the loft under one of the "cracks", making a thick pad, then to try to climb across the crack. A good time was had by all. Sorry, no photos.
Naturally, they eventually boarded up the cracks, to stop the fun.
It does seem somewhat absurd, buildering at the Bugaboos.
