Place Hacking: Venturing Off Limits

Leaping from the Eiffel Tower in a wingsuit. Scaling Shanghai Tower, one of the world's tallest buildings. Camping on the roof of Philadelphia's abandoned Eastern State Penitentiary. These scenarios are real examples of the recreational activity of place hacking: climbing, wading, jumping, or even ironing your way into prohibited or obscure spaces. Why do people do it? Is it the exhilaration of trespassing? Is it discovering a new perspective? Is it roving through your surroundings in an unpredictable manner?
