Its really unclear how they are climbing it. On the outside of the building? The stairs? Roped up?

I was looking for the same thing, it sounds like they're free climbing the outside of the building. from what I found. They must be slinging pipes and stuff for pro.

Did they use an internal combustion engine to get there?

LOL you bet they did! They also said that they have run into a problem and they are not sure how they are going to actually descend the tower, classic!

That's easy, in handcuffs and with escorts.
