Haha watching it live right now, guy's making some slow progress with that 4 cup system he's got......fact that he's aiding with climbing shoes on makes me think he's a newb

Also I wonder if he's talking shit to that guy trying to snag him from the broken window...

This guy's a junk show.

Using grigri's with static line instead of adjustable daisies. No aiders. Four suction cups instead of the streamlined 2-3 cup speed system.

Total noob to the big glass climbing scene, obviously.

I'm guessing he needed to do a few free moves to get high enough so that people couldn't just pull him off as he was getting started.

This is almost as good as watching Tommy and Kevin live on the dawn wall!

I for one am glad to finally see this thing be going down by fair means...I wonder what kind of alpine start he had to pull off to beat the crowds this thing sees.

This is an extremely bold climb beyond its time. Few, if any, will repeat this feat

It's like climbing on a sheet of glass, also what dicks breaking glass could fucking kill him, just let him get on with it if he dies he dies if he lives he gets arrested.

The cops could just stick clip him, or would that be cheating?
