A stunt climber scaled more than halfway up the world’s fifth-tallest skyscraper with his bare hands and no safety ropes Monday before being forced to come down again.
British free climber George King-Thompson reached the 72nd floor of the Lotte World Tower in Seoul, South Korea, before he was made to get onto a window-washing lift and moved inside the 123-story high-rise. King-Thompson, who is in his early 20s, was dressed in just shorts and carrying a parachute at the time. He told cops he wanted to leap from the top of the tower using his parachute, a sport known as BASE jumping, according to South Korean media reports.King-Thompson, who publicizes his stunts on social media, was arrested in 2019 after scaling the tallest skyscraper in his native country — the Shard in London.
Two years later, he scaled the 36-floor Stratosphere Tower in the city in less than a half hour, saying the stunt was to bring attention to climate change.King-Thompson, seen here climbing a Berlin high-rise barefoot in 2022, was apprehended a little more than halfway up a South Korea skyscraper Monday.The daredevil incident harkened back to 2018, when French climber Alain Robert reached the 75th floor of the Lotte World Tower before being detained.
