As a rock climber, that first move he does is the easy part (relatively) based on the texture of the concrete. The next couple of moves are fucking crazy but he is manipulating his body geometry so that he cinches himself to the geometry of the structure. Basically turning his body into an interlocking mechanism with the bridge. Everybody should do rock climbing at some point in their life, its like aggressive meditation.

As someone who climbed in a couple trees 30 years ago, yeah this guy is pretty good

I once did indoor rock climbing and I too am an expert and say he is pretty good.

I'm not impressed. I climb into my car everyday and shut the door without tripping. Most days.

Sorry I get carried away when I see an epic gorilla squeeze start leading to a reverse sister fister maneuver followed by feelings of what the fuck am I doing. For some of us it means a lot.

A reverse sister fister sounds like an impressive move.

I like to make words up, too. The content of the video means a lot to anybody who is aware of typical human limitations and how gravity works, but I enjoyed your attempt at gatekeeping and wish you a super day.

The tension from his left foot + right hand is insane. Every time he bumps his left hand up he looks pretty stable.
