Hollywood Sign

[Jordyn64]

how did you get up to the front of the sign? like which route did you take to get there?

[mongoose8p]

and we drove away safely - no big deal :) worth it BOTH times

[mongoose8p]

SECOND TIME: I went about three weeks ago at 2:30AM and it was a large group just like the first time. As soon as we got near the sign we must've tripped motion sensors because we heard a beeping noise - wasn't loud though, but we left just in case and started walking down path about halfway down a spotlight from top of the mountain was focused on a us and either a recording or someone on mic yelled at us to leave and exit premise over some type loudspeaker no one was waiting for us at bottom

[mongoose8p]

Okay update : I did it again about three weeks ago after I initially did it 3 months ago. Both times we approached it by walking up the long probably 2 mile or so paved road that winds around the mountain. You end up being right behind the sign and one point and you hop a fence that has no barb wire or anything and than its a quick walk down a hill and you can touch sign/climb it whatever - First time went at 5AM on a Saturday and it was still dark.. hung out for about a half an hour

[chivisg007]

I want a picture there so bad...!!!

[mongoose8p]

I did this last night nothing happened with the cops

[chivisg007]

@mongoose8p did you really ?

[JAMamation]

wow man i have so wanted to touch that sign :) but it would be impossible in 2010 i would be arrested or something. :(

[ItsMeKyleXD]

so wait if you get close to the sign and cops come what happens??

[pazzensutra]

Great video!! I got one of me and my nephews touching the "H". The Hollywood sign is a legendary monument!

[spaceframe01]

good vid

[benjie131]

It's pretty retarded wasting taxpayers' money to protect a sign.

[chrizles]

this got tagged by Seen a while back, took him like 2 nites to do it

[LebanezerScrooge]

As long as you hurry, the cops won't get you.

[Pixiepink97]

@LebanezerScrooge it's not illigal to touch it at the front,

u r aloud to climb up there and touch it !!!!!!

[LebanezerScrooge]

Well, they have fences surrounding the sign and sirens go off when you get within a few feet of it. Police helicopters are notified when the alarms are triggered and fly to the sign. It is definitely illegal.

[mongoose8p]

@LebanezerScrooge

thats bullshit i spent about half an hour up there last night and NOTHING happened we probably tripped every motion detector and infrared camera there was...

[coondogtheman1234]

you are lucky, i wish i was there and could be that close to this sign but aint gonna happen they got security up the ass now.

[passthebudfool]

aren't there snakes up there, i mean with all the shrubbery and the arid state of the whole thing.

[hlywd13]

you lucky... you touched it...

you touched the holy sign.. lol ;)

[mercuryman9]

ya u should be in jail cuz it is illegal. u mightve been able to get away with it when u were there but now u cant

[grm138]

How the hell did you get up there?

Your not allowed too

[silverfox4yu]

False, you are not allowed up there..just saw on TV a show where there is cameras and people are watched and authorities are informed and helicopters are dispatched to warn lookyloos..

[SHJ1011]

they might of put the cameras up there after this bc i just seen them talk about the new secuerty system for there..

[hugedallasfan55]

actually you are allowed up there. ive been thre and nothing happened.

[Jaaaannis]

interesting  =)

[fuckthatg7]

people have died there and if you get caught there you go to jail

[mgmb1959]

Awesome! Thank you so much posting. Did you get some great up close still pictures?

[Isaiasm2006]

I was told by a filmmaker that it use to be Hollywood Land, it was for an AD. But everyone liked it so it stayed but removed "land" .

[Isaiasm2006]

Hahaha... I heard no one is allowed to be there.

[Footballfreak778]

I want to be there!!!

[ItalianLoco]

I wasn't able to reach the third "O" --- it was too high

[ibrodinho]

lucky

[honeyburbon]

You are a brave one. There are cameras placed all over that sign! not to mention the helicopters that constantly fly over...

[losVangeles]

Climbing up the Hollywood Hills during the rattlesnake season is not very advisable!!!

Unless you wanna play super hero...

But, hey you made it!!

Congrats...

[alasone]

I got a serious question for you.

How long did it take the police to arrive as soon as you reached the actual sign?

[jeffhayford]

The police never came. We did this at 5:00 AM on a Sunday morning. When we got up there though there was a motion detector on top of a camera on top of a bull horn mounted on the Y pointing to the D. It's a quarter mile hike up a steep sandy hillside bring good shoes and a wad of 20's.

[lololzak]

@jeffhayford why a wad of 20s?

[RsDandanh]

I can see the hollywood sign from my balcony lol.

[Stagekid288]

you suck

[KO8810]

[derekwilliams1982]

Okay, I have decided that during my next visit to Los Angeles I am getting to that Hollywood sign!

[youthontop]

I envy you sooooo much! I live in New Zealand, so so so far away from LA

[CaptainLagos]

[DSquaredDude]

[sharpy183]

[dani3lswitzer]

did you start the climb at the horse ranch?

[GazTruman]

Good stealth mate, I wish i got that close to it, closest i go to it was griffith park! haha

[ocbeachdude]

Yeah its a great video, good work, it's strange how some people can get right to the sign and not be detected by the camera....I guess the day and time matters. thanks for sharing the video....

[SharonJ91]

How did you get so close to it? I thought you couldn't.

Do you live around that area?

Thanks

[jeffhayford]

I don't know. It was like 5 AM on a Sunday so maybe the guards were asleep? There was cameras, and a loud speaker right next to us though.
