Drift Climbs New York Times Tower

IN a newly released YouTube video, the urban explorer and photographer climbs 354 meters for a breathtaking view


In 2021, a New York Times article helped bring public awareness to Drift's pending trial over several counts of trespassing. Drift wanted to challenge the concept that what is illegal is also immoral.

Drift shares in his choice of climbing the tower, "The aim was to capture the insignificance of man in the shadow of an ever expansive city and world while also showing that man himself is limitless."
