One evening Clarence Anglin went up the utility corridor tovnear the roof, using the network. of plumbing in the corridor as a ladder. He crawled on top of the cell blocks. He used a screw driver and tried to take the screws out of the 184 inch diameter metal coupling which was between the roof ven- tilator and the roof.
