One row of cladding left to go on the Eastern half of the South side! The curtain wall has also gone up one more level on the Western side but no diagonal cladding piece on floors 83 and 84.

Photos taken today, Good Friday (Apr. 3). Very little new on the tower since I posted last Friday. A bit more glass and cladding on the south side on level 83... but nothing yet on level 84. However, it looks like the dismantling of the Rail Climbing Systems (RCSs) at the top has started. The side panels where the west and north RCSs meet, as well as where the north and east RCSs meet, have all been removed since last week, perhaps indicating the RCSs themselves are soon to be removed. (The south-facing sides on the east and west RCSs never had side panels.) There are 9 linked segments in each RCS, hanging from a truss, and each one presumably will be detached and hoisted down individually.

Since we can see the cladding or lack thereof with the now-exposed corners, it seems the skin on the west, north and east faces are just at level 80.
