Daredevil climber scales one of Europe's highest skyscrapers

BARCELONA: George King, the man who free climbed The Shard in London, took a life risk again when he scaled one of Europe's highest skyscrapers in Barcelona on Friday without any ropes or safety measures.
Crowds gathered to watch the 21 year old British free climber making his way to the top of the 116 metre Melia Barcelona Sky hotel in the Spanish city.
As he was coming down, he was arrested by the Mossos d'Esquadra, the Catalan regional police and was charged a fine.
"When I was at the top I felt that I was in another dimension of bliss," King told Reuters. "When I met the police on the way down my head was still in the clouds,” he added.
King scaled the hotel in about 20 minutes.
Earlier, he climbed the 310 metre, The Shard building in London in 2019. It is the highest tower in the United Kingdom, without any safety apparatus.
However, he stayed for six months in a young offenders' centre for breaching a civil injunction taken out by the owners of the building.
King, from Oxford in England but currently travelling around Europe in a van, has also climbed the 144-metre, Agbar Tower skyscraper in Barcelona.
