Does anyone know of a sckyscraper where they will allow a person to walk up from the lobby to the top? I am looking to raise money in support of the victims of Hurricaine Mitch. I called the Empire State Building and they said no. Before trying to call all of the buildings, I thought it would be a good idea to contact this forum first. Thank you in advance for your help.

  Hum, one would first have to know what you mean by "walking up"...
  If it's about climbing up on the outside of a skyscraper, I'm afraid one can forget about getting a permission for the venture. I doubt that any property owner, not to mention the police, is willing to have someone scaling high on a building wall -- and the situation is hardly better for them if something fatal happens to the climber.
  The lenient fine of $1 "granted" for George Willig for climbing up the World Trade Center in 1975 may not be repeated a second time...
  However, if you're talking about climbing up the stairs, there may be some hope, although I don't see much of a publicity stunt in that...? ED.

    Hi Ed,
    Do you have any suggestions for an internal walk-up in a NYC skyscraper? I know there is not much of a stunt in what I'm doing but I am trying to raise money for the benefit of others i.e. Hurricaine Victims. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Cesar

      No, I don't have any suggestions, but then again, I live 10,000 km away from the City, so someone else may be better qualified to help you... ED.
