I've found a old Nike Hercules dish and I want a selfie sitting on top of it.

I may need to figure out how to climb the dish with hooks or something, it appears to be mesh but kinda rusty >_>

In before I die in pursuit of a fucking selflie.

So I think I need some new shoes for this stupid idea, because I need some new shoes I can trust anyway.

Otherwise I have some really grippy rubber-coated cotton gloves that should enable engaging with sharp metal, just need some long sleeves that're comfortable and I'm willing to tear up on a fence >_>

what are you getting into?

bad ideas 

@ThatDamnCat Jumping a shortish chainlink fence, it might have barbed wire on it I haven't gotten into the trees to check, walking up to the dish, routing my way to the top and taking a selfie, maybe sip a drink and have a snack while enjoying my vantage point

bad ideas 

@ThatDamnCat the shoes thing is neither of my pairs are trustworthy to retain geometry or prevent ingress from sharp materials.

I have a ladder...

Also, where is this dish?

bad ideas 

@ThatDamnCat Out in bee caves and ladder takes all the fun away. Also would have to be lugged in and out and is kinda bulky/heavy in the event of a good runner.

okie-dokie

Do you have your get-away planned? Or a separate photographer?

bad ideas 

@ThatDamnCat Not really and no! My plan was limited to "get there and figure it out. Hopefully don't get hurt"

Maybe scout it out... then do the thing.

Bee Cave authorities are less chill than south Austin ones are. Not talking Williamson County levels, but still less chill.

I admit I want to see this happen (you climbing the dish). We (friend and I) used to climb on the radio towers in Westlake as teens and those have a commanding view.
