I’m curious about the treatment of the holes in the columns that anchor the climbing platforms. Are the holes patched with concrete or are they left as is? Also... the guys working on the upper floors sure earn their money. I am terrified of heights and wouldn’t last ten minutes up there before I’d have to be rescued.

...they will be insulated and cladded over I gather, along with the rest of those columns. Whether those holes help become part of that process, filled or left for the ages...I can't say for sure.
 
Photos taken today, Friday (Sept. 6). A smaller batch this week as there is less visible progress. Some of the forms have moved up on the top, with work on levels 68/69 or so. On the corners below, attachment points have been attached for the latest set of hangers to be installed to the floor of level 59, maybe this week. Further down, the Rail Climbing Systems are where they were a week ago, but we now see the first visible installation of the skin for the 3rd mega-section, which is what I am calling the part of the building between the 2nd and 3rd mechanical sections.

Starting with the latest Flickr "time-lapse" album update, then moving to the view of the tower from Yonge and Alexander, followed by a closer view of the new skin on level 39. Another view of the south side from the alleyways behind the tower. Then, from by Holt Renfrew on Bloor, a couple from Cumberland east of Bay, then to the west from Bloor and Bedford, from Devonshire, and from Hoskin.
