It's Friday, it's not exactly five to five, but hey, give it time.
And to help it pass, here's another Friday Matinee, our end of
week selection of streaming video.
Buildering? Spiderman? It's so old hat, no, what you need is a
good statue. This is from the fella who bought you that tingly walk
along the El Chorro Gorge and apparently, it's the best climb in
Hamburg :-)
There don't seem to be many more statue climbers out there, but
while we were looking we came across this Indian chap skimming up an
ancient fort. Apparently he's a stone mason. Beats the climbing
wall... don't switch off, his downclimbing technique at the end is
worth watching...
That's it for this week, have a good weekend and stay off those
statues... Nelson's Column anyone, and yes, we know it's been done.
