Is this guy's brain wired differently?
Discussion
that bloke has been climbing again
Of course there's skill in this: balance, technique etc. but ultimately does he have (or lack) the part of the brain that says "what if?"
But even if I made it to the top of the crane I wouldn't be able to casually stroll across the arm (?) of it one handed.
I certainly wouldn't get to the end and hang from it..... then let go with one hand!
Could you be *so* sure that you've got a good grip, that your hand isn't just too dusty / sweaty, that the crane doesn't have a spot of oil that you didn't notice?
Highly skilled or just plain mental?
ETA I saw the tv programme where he got back from Ukraine and he went to see his mum, maybe he still lived there. I also couldn't put my loved ones through what his poor mum goes through. And yes, I know there are dangerous sports and extreme passtimes etc. But there's a big difference between F1 and hanging from a crane by your fingers.
