The tunnel/staircase and valve chambers was accessible through a small door in the main control room on the upper floor area. Kinda' hard to find. It was a helluva hike to the top, but got amazing pics.

I found the tunnel to the escape lift, and to the stairs going to the top of the building, but didn't find a way to walk up to the top. Crazy shit.
This was w/ Siologen and Infectoid.. great expo. Did you see the lockers downstairs, marked w/ the number/letter combos? We managed to get the keys to the locker marked 'G1NGER - 4' lol
Did you notice on the lower levels that your ears popped when you walked through the baffles? That was weird.
I'd love to see your photos, link link link.
Have you abseiled the tunnels in the upper powerstation?
That place was totally dope (half a submerged powerstation..and the ORIGINAL, first ever tesla designed and made A/C generators..wow wow), but the lower floors were probably the scariest things I've done.
For the folks at home - this is the powerstation that's about 400m from the falls. Half of the powerstation is flooded (intentionally, it used to then drop into the tubes 8 stories below to turn the turbines).. It was built over 100 years ago, and is situated literally on / in the feeding river.
Down the bottom of the station, there are HUGE, and I mean HUGE redbrick tunnels that lead out UNDER the fall curtain. The only way into them is to abseil from the bottom floor of this powerstation.
One floor below ground level, it's absolute dark.
Two floors down, the roof is leaking like it's raining hard.
Three, four, five floors down, nothing has been touched for decades. The staircases are rusted out under your feet, the walls are running with water, and it's raining, inside a building.
6, 7, 8 floors down, the ground is totally flooded, it's cold, foggy, pissing down ice cold water, and you're 8 stories underground, with only one thin brick wall protecting you from the force of the niagara river pouring in on top of you.
Crazy crazy stuff!
