Climbing a Skyscraper Without Ropes | Rites of Passage

Thanks VICE for following me in this journey ! It was a pleasure ! 🔥

Amazing

Amount of dodgy builders there are 🙄 only a matter of time before something goes wrong

My bum's gone funny. I've got butterflies in the undercarriage and my feet. I did a 15,000' skydive and that was fine, but I could never consider doing a bungee jump let alone this! These dudes are nutters!

Look, i own this building. But at least clean the windows on the way up?

Very stupid people, with stupid ideas!

fast forward to 21 mins for the actual climb

Can someone explain he says he’s been doing it for 50 years but he’s only 20 something how is that possible? ???

What a load of crap. You commit a crime in other countries, even if a modest crime, a beating is part and parcel of the experience

Alain Robert the Iggy Pop of free climbing.

It's not that most of us don't think we can climb a skyscraper... it's that theres no reason to climb a skyscraper and risk our lives for no f'ing reason other than a little waste of adrenaline..

Then standing on the very ledge after all that climbing.. ridiculous lol

Yeah I walk my family through hell but I don't really care 🤡🤡🤡

Fake.

dum

Excellent d'avoir l'interview avec Alain Robert. Vous êtes des sportifs très courageux.

Dick to small
Jajajaja

i watched a oart of this video on snap and it was scary

“There’s only 5 people that do what we do” yeah because all the others that tried this are dead

Why are these nutters always French?

Too much editing, as always.

I know everyone will freak out at my comment but how is his choice of doing this any different than someone else's choice to do drugs? Both are dangerous each time you do it, both create endorphins and adrenaline surges, both have complex reasons behind them, and there's a lot more. I am not against either if an adult wants to do something that can potentially hurt them then that's their choice. As long as no one else is in danger of being killed by their actions.

Impressive climbing, but what impresses me more is him speaking English as a frenchman.

Bro I looked at this and I got the chills

My anxiety running up😢

My palms are still soaked🤦🏽‍♂️😂

What a fool

I love that they think they’re accomplishing anything

Never surprised and almost laugh when they fall. Matter of time. Darwin Award for trespassing

NOPE

Do they wear a diaper? I pee far too often to survive that

Wow…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

HELL AND HEAVEN ARE VERY REAL ETERNAL ABODES..!!REPENT AND COME TO JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR FROM HELL ETERNAL..!!

My palms are starting to prune.

Perfect Idiot

Admirable achievement but pretentious to think if people don’t choose to do something so extreme or risky that they aren’t living their lives.

On the spectrum, no doubt.

Insane bravery and fearlessness to do this type of thing. These guys are the elite of the elite of climbing. They just can't guarantee the structural integrity of the metal concrete and windows etc of these buildings.

"You need to do what you do for the right reasons. If it is to become famous, and you would never ever climb if there wasn't cameras, gopros and drones, then you are absolutely doing it for the wrong reasons."

It had to be said.

It would not be a less epic thing with ropes and safety. It is just beeing a junky of adrenalin- and just like in any other addicts case, it is an addiction, a selfish, stupid addiction.

Wonder if Alexis is on the spectrum / has adhd.

Imagine once he gets to the top, but the roof is 5 stories lower than the rim of the roof so you can't go forward or back

why ? it will only end in tears one day one slip and your gone

All very well until one of thr struts falls off in his hand.

respect for Alex. life is about what u want to do even if it has some risk. Alex is very good climber.

I just panic just watching this .

Probably these guys are never been hurt in life emotionally.

When u think u can respawn
