Yes i watrched this guy for a few years but then he started having to be rescued from every climb, empire state building, twin towers, petronas towers, but one hell of a climber otherwise but he should grow old gracefully before he falls to his death.

I worked on the NY Times building when it was being built. The 2" ceramic rods that adorn the outside of the entire building make a perfect ladder to climb the top. Although many of us thought that the rods would make an ascent rather easy, no one thought that someone was crazy enough to do it. My dad worked on the construction of the World Trade Center in the 70's. He and an army of police officers and other personnel got to greet George Willig when he made it to the top. IMO these guys are all nuts. |

I saw it on the news, he was busted not long ago in Sydney and I say his fine this time will be a lot larger.
