Rock climbing walls are for wusses …. so says a dude who just scaled the Eiffel Tower … and the timing of his stunt could not have been worse.Watch the vid … the man scales the 330-meter tower, making his way over the blue ring of the Olympics logo … which is temporarily perched on the famed landmark.The incident went down Sunday afternoon … just 3 hours before the start of the Olympics closing ceremony, forcing French police to evacuate the area around the Tower.
It’s unclear where the climber kicked off his ascent … but he was spotted gaining some serious height around the tower’s first viewing deck.Visitors were escorted away by local police around 3 PM … with some tourists even being stuck on the 2nd floor for around 30 minutes.The Eiffel Tower has been a visible landmark during the Paris Summer Games … a temporary stadium was built beneath the looming structure for the beach volleyball portion of the competition. It’s also served as a backdrop for other events.
