Sometimes when I am taking the city bus and drive by buildings that just tower up into the sky, I sometimes daydream of climbing like spiderman up those ghastly tall buildings. Has anyone been able to climb skyscrapers with or without gear? I should think it would be hard to place gear. "Hmmm...this crack in the glass should be good enough for a piton."
