New videos of climbers atop the Space Needle roof and out on the Great Wheel put to bed any doubts from skeptics.
Two videos popped up overnight on YouTube under the account name: “ScrawledInBlack.” They show a man climbing to the top of the needle and sitting down on the roof for a rest. Another shows a man climbing the metal framework on the Great Wheel and then out onto one the cars.
Images of the feat popped up online months ago and doubters suggested they might be digitally altered. It appears the creator felt the need to prove them wrong.
The most recent photo, posted 10 months ago, shows a man tucked away in the rafters at Safeco Field, 21 stories above the bases. So far, there is no video proof of that climb, but perhaps it’s coming soon.
Other photos include a man at the top of Century Link Field and the Columbia Tower.
