He may be, I'll rserve judgement until I've heard him. He can certainly climb - providing it's not a lamp post (check his wikipedia entry

I'm sure in a documentary on him, he used an electron ladder when it got a bit tricky on one building...when he wasn't getting rescued!

He seems to attract a lot of publicity somehow.

Check out "Man on Wire" Very inspirational.

I don't think you should simply write him off as a "nob". But he's certainly eccentric and undoubtedly talented.

He is a very skilled guy but Climbing buildings is easier than climbing rocks .. was watching a documentry years ago about him and there was footage of him doing a rock climbing solo (a few hundred foot) with his little baby on his back..the first thing i thought was what a Nob and its kinda stook
