A Polish climber was arrested after scaling the outside of the Montparnasse Tower in central Paris on the evening of September 18, French media reports.
Videos taken by nervous onlookers from the bottom of the 689-foot skyscraper (Franceโs second-tallest building) show Marcin Banot, who vlogs under the moniker โBNTโ or BNT fhujHD, free-soloing the buildingโs exterior dozens of floors above the ground. He had attempted the climb without any safety equipment before rescuers rappelled down to him when he was already more than halfway up.
What on earth was he thinking?!ย
