Going above a certain height causes my plums to retract for some reason, I went up the Eifel Tower when I used to support folk with learning disabilities and the chap I was with refused to get out of the lift. We went up and down many times; it was like being forced to re-live puberty again, and again, and again..

I went up Calgary Tower, which was fine. Until I met the section of glass floor xx(
Coped with the Empire State Building fine as the lift was so fast, just couldn't go too near the edge!

I love programmes like this, anything where people risk their lives be it mountain climbing, free running, base jumping etc etc etc stuff I'll never get to do, mainly down to fear, maybe it's their freedom to break away from the monotony of life, who knows but that s*** is cool :becool::becool:
You may be overlooking the level of skill. If I did that sort of stuff I really would be risking my life, but this looked to be well within his limits ie not especially dangerous for him.
Here, for example, is the amazing Catherine Destivelle freeing a big roof in Mali. Makes it look easy because for her it is.

Did anyone else see that freeze-frame and think 'wow, he really does love climbing!'
