I'm pretty sure my first climb was Bald Head Island Lighthouse. It was not a secure LH in 1998. As I remember it had a wooden door that was ajar, and I walked in and climbed the winding stairs with no rails. A little scary but quite a rewarding view. Later that summer, I remember a report that during a hurricane several residents took refuge there. I remembering thinking how desperate they had to be to go there.

Most interesting was Oak Island.

Most climbs are at Montauk, Long Beach Bar, and Fire Island.
