Was he, climbing Nelson columne, no PPE either, normal shoes, jacket, crazy, no way would I have the bottle to do that, he's even wearing a tie, imagine the H& S regulations today climbing that for a documentary

I'm OK with heights but that film of Noakes has me in a cold sweat. 😬 More nerve than Fred Dibnah.
