That guy is insane. One day he is going to fall. It's also very unusual for him to use safety devices.

ive never seen a video of him climbing with safety equipment... even so, quite a talented guy... and somewhat crazy too.

ive 'scaled' 40-50 foot walls, and that was enough for me, i cant imaging some 1600+ ft. tall skyscraper :o

That's pretty nuts - though, when u think about it, that's a rather interesting hobby. "Yeah, I climb the world's tallest buildings...for fun." :)

this guy is insane, the reason i think he used the rope was because (possibley) of the building design??
he's pretty insane, he should of climbed it as part of the opening, on new years day.

The article says that the management required him to use the rope. They probably
did that for insurence reasons.
