Yeah, I've seen some of his clips too; Dude is a nut.

Oh, and we've done a little of this around here as well, although not nearly as high as him. Mostly up and down the sides of friends apartment complexes.
We call it buildering instead of bouldering.

I saw the guy climb those twin buildings in Malaysia ( tallest in the world ) and people were watching out the window of one of the buildings and he traversed right over to them and went up. He is good thats for sure, no room for error, huh.

You got that right.
I saw on the news today that he's went and climbed another building somewhere and he said it was for Global warming.
I think he's been in the sun too long already.

Wish all these people would stop doing things FOR Global warming. Shouldn't we be against it?

We should. Maybe when the Ice caps are all gone around 2030 and then water will be like gold.
Wish we could do something now!
