Is that Brian?

When I first saw this new story I was sure all those longing looks that Brian gives buildings around the city had finally driven him over the edge... but then it became clear that the climber wasn't sporting pants anywhere near as cool as Brian's chinos. Interestingly the idea of climbing the New York Times building apparently became a fad. Alain Robert as the first. Renaldo Clarke couldn't help following. Of course the real reason Brian wasn't third becomes apparent when you look at the interior shots: this climb isn't even a 5.8 but it is sustained.

I'm not the only one who thinks about this: Drunken buildering?

Hmmm, mysterious absence of pictures depicting, ahem, other drunken builderers...

And I wasn't drunk! Just red...
