    You be the judge !

    This has to be by far the most insane video I have seen, Yes it takes major guts to do what they did but I think they are outta their minds doing this with no climbing gear or safety equipment.

    I was just in complete shock of how they are doing this like its nothing and there he goes popping out his Canon and starts snapping pics ..... That was the icing on the cake for me !

    Where the hell was the Port Authority???

    Could you imagine trying this on the Verrazano, a bridge you can't even take pictures of?

    Two things that disturb me...aside from no harness, etc...one guy is climbing in SANDALS! Secondly, that was a 12 minute clip, no cops at all? Try that in NY, cops will be there before you get 50 feet up.

    It DOES take guts (and/or a low fear IQ), to do what they did, but pre-911 & pre-bicycle helmets etc. culture for better or worse, things of that nature were not so uncommon in the good old USA. I mean there aren't even any diving boards in NYC public pools these days...
