Cable walk

Archived from groups: alt.games.grand-theft-auto (More info?)

Noticed this during my explorations: you can -- on foot -- carefully walk up
the bridge cable to the top of the western support where the parachute is on
the auto bridge that joins SF and LV. Since there's a parachute there, they
obviously intended that, but I never thought of it until now (exploring the
bridge in detail).

so is he :O)

That would be the Gant (Golden Gate) Bridge, correct? (most northerly)
It has the parachute and sign: "No easter eggs up here, go away"

I know that the Garden (Oakland Bay) Bridge, that is next to the
Kincaid train tracks bridge, has a ramp, on the cables.
You can BMX, even NRG to the top.
Makes for a hell of an interesting stunt.

I guess it's the Garden (the one just north of the red train bridge). Just
a parachute. No sign. (I haven't examined the Gant in detail yet, so I
don't know if a similar thing is possible there. I know about the sign,
though.)

Figured it wouldn't be news to everyone.

the easter egg sign is in the first support, the parachute is on the
second (if you come from San Fierro)

There's also a minigun on the south-western end on a small stone
structure. I've always use a helicopter or jetpack to get it, and never
realised it's possible to grab it as easily as your method!

That's on the train (red) bridge just south of the auto bridge I've been
talking about. I don't think you can walk the cables to it on that bridge.
There are cross members in the way.

Can't get the mini-gun without jetpack or helicopter.
I've tried the tallest vehicles as well.

Oooh like it, like it... must get a PCJ/NRG/similar up there!

*rubs hands*

This is actually nothing new to me -> did any of you guys ever drive a
PCJ all the way up the red steel girders to the top of the construction
site in VC?

One of my favorite hangouts: Fun + great views up there & also great
for sniping.

When you're done or when pesky helicopters start showing up, you can do
an extreme bike jump off the highest girder - they intended this to be
possible, but I don't remember if it counts as unique jump or not.

Yes, I did! I tried the girder jump a couple of times but always ended
up in the river, then about a year later I discovered the "lean
forwards" button and went back and did it!

We're talking about VC here, the construction site where you meet the
guy with the hat.

Is it possible to get a motorcyle up there before you've unlocked it? I
might have just found a new strategy to this circle of peace, it beats
swimming across )

That is one of the Unique Stunts, required for 100% in Vice City.

Love that construction site as well, great fun for PCJ stunting .
Personally, I favored the Prawn island Fountain.
I think all of this talk.....
Heading back to good old Prawn Island, have PCJ's saved at all the
safe house garages, and the 2 closest, El Casa Swanko, and Hyman
Condo.

Great fun!!!! Thanks for the triple insane memories!
