    Here’s another version, someone rip it from youtube quickly before this gets taken down too! It’s an amazing clip :)

    Nawww. I still missed it… I’ve looked at those towers ever since I was a kind and wondered what it’d be like to clim. I read the blog post, and yea. Fair enough. Maybe they can re-film it under approved circumstances. Aplogies to TheOnlineEngineer.org!
