I enjoy every climb - maybe it's because it's a literal dance between life and death.

I did climb about 80 buildings around the world and I climbed even the five tallest.

With buildering, I get to keep that element of danger. Plus, I very much like the feeling of height, and buildings have even more of a feeling of height than rock faces.

There is a percentage of people who want to be a little bit outside their comfort zone and I am one of them, someone who lives on the edge.

Sometimes doing the forbidden can be nice.
