Polish free climber Marcin Banot went viral today, however not precisely for the reason he ‘d hoped. Banot had to do with 28 stories up the side of a 30-story high-rise building in Buenos Aires, Argentina when firefighters pinned the metropolitan climber to the structure and jailed him for the unapproved climb.
The Globant Tower, which Banot was trying to totally free climb, is 125 meters (410 feet) high. Banot had made substantial progress when two firemens rappelled from the top of the tower. The very first one vibrated around the corner to where Banot was and pinned him to the building with his body.

This particular attempt went sour, but Banot does some pretty impressive things and normally sees them through to the end. In one current video series published to Instagram, he climbed the Ponte Luis 1 in Portugal.

Presumably, he does this with approval? Regardless, my hands are sweaty simply watching this.
Here’s another view of his Ponte Luis 1, this one from a drone’s perspective:
Banot hasn’t published about his Globant Tower climb yet, most likely because of the legal tussle that cut the attempt short.
A complimentary climber went viral, however not for the factor he ‘d hoped. Enjoy a metropolitan climber get jailed on the side of skyscraper.
