Daredevil Free Climber Scales 1,200ft Above Dubai But Doesn’t Realise Crane Is Covered In Grease
A daring free climber scaled a massive crane in Dubai, reaching an incredible height of 1,280 feet above the city’s skyline.
The climber, who made the risky ascent without safety equipment, expected the challenge to come from the height and exposure.
However, upon reaching the structure, he was met with an unexpected obstacle—the crane was coated in grease.
The slippery surface made gripping and maneuvering far more dangerous, adding a new level of difficulty to the already perilous climb.
Such grease is often applied to deter unauthorized access, as it can make climbing hazardous and even life-threatening.
Despite the danger, the climber managed to complete the ascent, though it remains unclear whether he faced any legal consequences.
The incident highlights both the extreme risks taken by thrill-seekers and the preventive measures used to protect high structures in urban environments.
