It is BURJ KHALIFA as i can make out from the pictures..
hey, i've seen him even before when he came to DOHA(i think i am right)..
Hats off to this person..
sure, his name has been added in genius book of world records... this one his further achievement...
Never heard UAE government granting permission for anyone to climb the Burj tower. Might very well be fake! This is definitely not Burj Khalifa!
My sense i was just thinking this was edited in photoshop but looking at those people below, maybe this is not a fake.
without any safety supports. oh come on!
is this true?
Kuquels..the frenchman climb the building with a nylon (150lbs) supporting him and nylon cannot be seen thru photos (TRICK) LOL!
well done

He wants his name to be added to the Guinness?
He's the french spiderman!!!
Publicity!
Brave-heart french climbed tat to do French Kiss with the Tower....:)
