Barefoot man climbs tower in Barcelona

A man climbs up a more than 470-foot tower barefoot and with no safety equipment as people watch on. The incident was captured on the famous Torre Glories, formerly known as the Agbar Tower, in the city of Barcelona in the Spanish autonomous community of Catalonia, yesterday (Thursday, 27th August). The occasion marks the second time French climber Leo Urban scales the large building. The first time was in November of last year alongside his friend Nico Mathieux, however, this time he decided to go at it alone. The video shows the moment that Urban goes up the famous tower as the person filming can be heard laughing. Several members of his group cheer him on by clapping and yelling ‘Leo!’ as he continues he steady ascend. Despite the impressive feat, the man was greeted by police upon reaching the top and has an open investigation on him, however, it is unclear if authorities plan on formally charging him with anything.
