Behind and below Niagara Falls [pics]
Well, last night was the night. Finally got into the outfall tunnels below the Toronto Power Company powerstation - the tunnels that exit behind the Niagara fall curtain.
Hard to describe what it's like to see the falls from the other side, the rush of air and mist.. daaaaaaamn! http://www.ninjito.com/dump/2007-01-27/qx-conf-1.jpg http://www.ninjito.com/dump/2007-01-27/qx-conf-2.jpg http://www.ninjito.com/dump/2007-01-27/qx-conf-3.jpg http://www.ninjito.com/dump/2007-01-27/qx-conf-4.jpg http://www.ninjito.com/dump/2007-01-27/qx-conf-7.jpg http://www.ninjito.com/dump/2007-01-27/qx-conf-5.jpg http://www.ninjito.com/dump/2007-01-27/qx-conf-6.jpg |
How did you manage that? I have gone to NF a gazillion times, took the "behind the falls" tour, but it wasn't those tunnels. I would love to see that

Holy crap! I went and read it and it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! It is just amazing! I can't believe you did that...I am in awe!
|

|
awesome!
|
Awesome pics.
|
Wow. It must have been awesome to be down there. Great pics!
|
wow i wanna go there!!!! x
|
The place was off the hook.
Similar situation this time as well - there's 24 hour security on the building, sitting in a spot with perfect view across the entire place. We managed to ninja in unseen - make our way to the second floor, unbolt and shift the steel plates to the staircase, and spiral our way down the rusted to shit staircase 8 stories down.. all the time in the artificial rain from the leaking building... then head to the tailrace tunnels.. rig our lines, and abseil into the tunnels.. You can walk and wade right to the edge of the falls. Luckily, the ps has been abandoned for long enough that there's not a 'switch to flip'! :) |
Very nice pix once again!!! :thumbsup
You must have the Subterranean "E" pass... ADG Webmaster |
holy shit! amazing.
read the story quantum-x linked to. that isn't the story of your adventure tho? i see you posted in the thread following that story "damnit, I got so close, but so far. At least I got to see the PS flooded ;)" - you didn't get as close to the Falls as these 3 guys did? |
Amazing pictures.
|
That is amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Last night's trip was different, but to the same place, and definitely a similar experience. When I was there before they were a year or so ago, the station looked like: http://ninjito.com/dump/qx-nfe-1.jpg http://ninjito.com/dump/qx-nfe-2.jpg Sadly, lots has changed now... |
Cool looking pix..that would be an awesome tour
|
you guys are nuts! where do you get the plans to these buildings so you at least know where you are and where you're going once you get inside?
getting in is one thing but man it must suck getting out when you're exhausted. |
Wow, what a story..I read the whole thing, great reading!
|
I went into an Hydro-Electric plant. That stuff is nuts. I have pics but they're not as good as yours.
