I worked with a complete mountaineer nutter who climbed the Birmingham post office tower without a rope in the late 70s.

Wasn't he in the news again a few weeks ago for climbing a building somewhere in Oz?

My heart was in my mouth watching that.

I guess the only difference between 170ft and 1,700ft is the size of the crater.
