i would free him.. and give him job offers.. like saving people stuck in mountain passes and stuff or changing lightbulbs on top of radio antennas or whatever... dude.. this guy climbed THE SHARD. i mean that might sound crazy but it's beyond impressive.
Yeah, he’s clearly very committed and very talented. If he focused it on something that actually helps people the dude could literally climb mountains.
As someone who has ADHD and is struggling to fit in society’s boxes, and who finds solitude in exploring abandoned buildings and sometimes urban climbing, this video was a great joy to watch. I hope Adam pulls through on this one and he continues to enjoy his great passion.
I see what you're saying and I could agree that if he was in my town breaking every feasible rule in the community, I'd probably be annoyed at most, but from what I've seen; I think if his authoritative oppositional act would affect a level headed citizen who approached him to have a rational conversation about it, he would probably apologize and move forward from it. He seems like a good kid. Unless the elderly individual approached him wiping a cane violently in the air while behaving like a stressed out toddler due to the pety crime committed, I feel that spiderman 2 would comply because I feel like he apposes aggression over just breaking rules as a generalization. While that is still, more-less, not acceptable societal behavior I wouldn't have a problem with someone dealing with an asshole by retaliating in the same way, but cutting lines or parking in handicap spots probably isn't within his line of interest as he superceded those kind of minor misconducts from the get go by scaling that tower, so I personally don't see his interest swaying towards the act of strictly being a nuisance towards anyone within his line of sight as that probably would bore the young lad. With that being said, I also don't see him going for the extremes too like holding someone hostage or approaching a store owner at the till while holding a firearm as his demeanor seems to me to express enough compassion for human life to stay within societal acceptance. I think he's found his passion and, if so, I feel nothing but envy for him because it is pretty damn hard to find something in this world that encompasses peak interest while making a living off of it. This is just my opinion of course
@@TwoGunToast I mean but that's kind of a baseless argument, you could easily say the exact same thing for the other side. ie someone being so strict about following the rules and norms, that they end up valuing these more than the people they affect, and therefore hurting them. Disliking authority is not the same as being an apathetic sociopath who will do whatever they please just because they can and they don't like being told no. What he's doing doesn't affect anyone negatively, other than that caused by an arguably oppressive legal and social system. In fact, he seems like a very empathetic person, which is a much more common trait among those who go against the grain - choosing to value the people over the system.
I always hate when article state that someone "climbed a building for a selfie" or something similar, when that's far from why they climbed it most of the time.
One thing I respect is that him and king and everyone they accept the consequences. That's something I despise in people when they commit some sort of crime so deliberately and then can't believe they get in trouble. I can sort of understand the motivation, he's pretty sure he's going to prison anyway and this might be his last chance to climb the shard. Glad he actually made it to the top hope he can survive prison
Accept the consequences? Do they though? I mean let me lay it out for you. They are climbing a building no safety harness or anything, inside a busy city. With a crowd of onlookers both adult and child alike. They try to make it a sport, make it look cool and desirable to do. But amateurs make mistakes, amateurs die. When that happens, do these dead people accept the consequences of the damage they done to those onlookers, both adult and child alike. When those children spend years in therapy with repeated nightmares about a man falling to his death and the gruesome scene it leaves behind. Do you think those DEAD people, thought or even care about such consequences....i think they be dead. They dont do anything anymore. But those spectators, those people seeing your bones sticking out of your body. Those children whom HEARD you SMASH into the ground. I dont think they will ever forget the sound of a human hitting concrete after falling of a building. The only consequences these pricks even consider are THEIR OWN. I have NEVER heard any of them talk about MY consequence. You know what i hear all the time, legal consequences. Societal consequences. They only consider the damage they can do to themself. Never once do i hear any one of them mention anything about the damage you could do to the people watching and witnessing your death.
@@StupidYTmakingNonSenceUpdates I think they do, because you have to think in order for that to become a consequence they have to first die. And when you do something with such high risk I'm sure you aren't constantly thinking about the fact you might die but I'm sure they do it at least once before the climb. Indeed they are hurting other people and I'm not saying that is good but I imagine that that being a consequence is something that crosses their mind and that they have to accept. I don't think you can attempt things like this or things like free soloing if you don't accept that as a consequence. And they might accept it by telling themselves what will I care I'm dead which again is a shitty way to do it but you also have to think if you are a pedestrian that decides to stop and watch a man scale a building and potentially die you have to accept some responsibility aswell. If you are watching someone risk their life you have to accept you might watch someone die.
@@peoplecallmepeechez children who's parents stop to look have a choice? The dude that works in that building and just tries to get inside? Did he choose? The dude who just got out the building for lunchbreak, did he choose? My point is not everyone who will see him die, "choose" to see that. When you do something INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, in a urban environment. The people going about their daily lives dont choose to get involved. If this dude fell off that crane onto traffic below, would the driver have chosen or did this dude choose for him. The only points in your responce that rang true for me is, indeed. They may consider the trauma they may cause others and decide to do it anyway. But than why would you say you respect that they accept the consequences. My original comment was made to show this...think well about every angle. Because you say you respect, that they accept the consequences. Yet you clearly also didnt think about this GLARINGLY MESSED UP CONSEQUENCE. If not i severly wonder what your original point was. What is there to respect? Which consequences do they accept, REALLY? Look at every angle, because in a busy urban environment its not about the dude coming straight at you, its about the cyclist in your dead zone. Its not about the people stopping to watch the spectacle, its about the people that have no choose. Even true proffesional free soloing. If your going to such a location, you should kinda prepare yourself that something like that may happen. You shouldnt logically have to worry someone is gonna drop dead infront of you, when you walk out your office for lunch or when your about to go grocery shopping.
@@StupidYTmakingNonSenceUpdates no you are right and I did not consider the people going about there day in an urban environment. All I'm saying is you referred to them as spectators in your response to me and spectators seem to make their own choice but you are correct there is more people involved than spectators that I did not consider in my original post. What I respected was living life without fear of consequences and being your own ruler, but there is clearly ethical boundaries that should be considered that I had not in my original praise. So traumatizing bystanders is not respectable but seeing something you want to do and commiting whole heartedly to it despite the dangers or the consequences is respectable to me. There are many times in my life when I wish I could overcome my fear and do something and not be held back by potential consequences, but most of those things do not involve putting other people in jeopardy.
One thing I've always wondered is, how do they get back down? Like some climbs you kinda have to extend fully and I find it hard to believe you could do it in reverse. I've never seen a video where they climb down, just celebrating at the top. Like obviously the ladder ones you just reverse, but the unique architecture buildings I just don't understand
If the police or security are involved they'll bring you down through roof access to the inside of the building, if they can. Sometimes there are multiple people involved and you'll have some prep done, someone might have created building access for your escape by temporarily disabling alarms or door locks. If it's just you I guess you'd have to have a plan upfront, if you climb down again you'll get arrested straight away. If you can get into the building and descend fast enough in the lift or stairwells, you might be able to play hide and seek for a bit and make your escape. Storror show a lot of their scouting back story in Roof Culture Asia, lots of playing hide and seek with security on roofs and in buildings lol.
That young lad could make a ton of money doing maintenance / light replacement on communication towers and still climb as a hobby on the side. Or even at the top of the buildings he has been freeclimbing. No reason for him to be broke.
i LOVE the way u are uploading videos like you upload maybe 2-4 videos over 2 days and then taking a week and then another 2-4 videos and its so nice to wake up one day with some jimmythegiant videos to watch all love to you jimmy. ps thanks for liking my comment on the bob reese video.
This is such an interesting case of humans adaptation to an urban environment, what a truly epic quest! I'm pretty broke right now but I donated £5, if 1 out of 5 people who watch this video donate £5 we could cover this guy's legal fees easily together!
@@thelight3112 wrong, if the authorities don't see him, he could fall and injure or kill someone by landing on them, if they do, they have to cordon of the whole area wasting massive resources in an already stretched force., Not too mention if he falls the clean up costs and trauma to onlookers and possible kids witnessing such a thing Just don't do it, it's incredibly selfish
@@TheSMR1969 Yes I agree, which is why it is illegal. I don't think it should be allowed, or he shouldn't face any consequences, but sending him to prison for months is over the top and won't fix anything. In his case, he clearly needs mental health care. He's going to keep doing these dangerous stunts until he falls to his death, because he doesn't have anything to live for.
We got our own set of crazy climbers in France too, Leo Urban and Hit the Road, they came from parkour too. If you wanna immerse into their story, they have crazy storys like the eiffel tower, the rio christ and many insane buildings.
Good for him for sticking with the things he loves. You have to remember tho that there are good reasons in the prevention of him climbing, not only for his safety but for the safety of others. Either way this video was fantastic and I actually feel happy to see him achieve his dream. ❤️
He dropped out of school when he was 15, and his parents let him stay on his xbox for 24 hours a day. Tells you something about the kind of parents he had
Urbex is always about the risk to reward ratio. There's always a risk you'll get caught. However climbing the shard is 100% guarantee to get caught. If he thinks it was worth going to prison for, then fair enough.
"All kids do these days is stay inside and play videogames." Kid goes outside and there's nothing to do so he climbs stuff. "Not like that! Prison for you!"
kids where i live are told off by the police for climbing trees. fucking trees! what are they going to do? squish a caterpiller? the trees here are like 12 foot tall. except in the forest, thats a dense bush with multi story high trees.
@@ParaditeRs "Really you have ADHD to?" "Yep" "Thats unfortunate, how do you treat it?" "I don't?" "Oh? Thats a bit odd. When were you diagnosed?" "Last week, a video on tiktok said I had ADHD if I get distracted" "Are you sure it's not TikTok that is making you distracted?" "No I only average 7 hours of TikTok a day"
@D A M E S I E thank goodness we have Doctor D A M S I E to correctly diagnose us eh? I mean, you do have a doctorate right? You're surely not just another armchair psychiatrist?
As long as he's not hurting himself then I see nothing wrong with it. I would rather see this young man feel good and be free than on medication for his depression. It's dangerous but it's his life to risk. Keep climbing, keep reaching higher young man. Be safe. 🙏
Imagine seeing him fall. Imagine the mental damage that would come from seeing this young man splatter on the pavement. Imagine your family member was below him and he fell on them. Imagine he dropped his camera and it killed a child. There's many reasons he should not do it. I understand his plight and I watch many urban climbing videos. I also just know that it is incredibly stupid and shouldn't be done.
What’s worst, him jumping off a building because of accumulation of depression or him climbing it to his own risk just to stay sane? I don’t understand why our societies are so afraid of different people. Why should we restrain ourselves to live a life that is full of depression. I hate our world and that is why I wanted to kill myself a few years ago. Don’t say: oh he could traumatize someone if he fall! Because these people are wanting to push him off the edge. They push him in a direction of suicide!
This is such a valuable video in order to understand this whole situation from lil nuisance's perspective. I do parkour and am active in the community so I heard about this straight after he climbed the shard. I was sympathetic towards him from the get go coz I knew he probably wasn't just doing it for a selfie at the top but watching this video is the perfect way to understand the reasons why he did what he did and I fully side with him because of that. I hope this vudeo blows up in a way that muggles and people in the mainstream can also understand the situation from his perspective. Thankyou keiron for always making banger videos which help give people insight into things they probably would have otherwise. Keep it up man 🔥
„He didn’t do it for a selfie“ no, he does it to fuel a narcissistic adrenaline addiction. What if he falls, what if he breaks something up there, what if Looks up to him and causes an accident…yeah yeah all what ifs… but you do wear a seatbelt in your car in case of a „what if“. And please no „it’s a calculated risk bro“ then go climb some rock faces, just as dangerous but you splatter somewhere in the woods
@@rcnhsuailsnyfiue2 and when it does? I once pulled a burnt corpse of a subway ..he was just „surfing“. And I can still smell him 8 years later. Victimless crime…until it becomes one
@@Pocket-AA-Pro what is the benefit of clipping that Fassade? Other than that own personal, selfish fulfillment of the adrenaline craving? The thing with the seatbelts, you see that already is a step towards your argumentation. You can climb with safety gear or you don’t. You can choose to put a seatbelt on or you don’t. But you do it, don’t you? Again, you can climb, but climbing skyscrapers in public is not the same as a rockface, and with one I have a problem with the other I don’t. I have nothing against skydiving, I don’t like skydiving without a backup chute, and I don’t like it over residential areas
reminds me of 2 kids that broke into mans back yard basically. where they rode down the bobsled slide or run whatever its called. they got away no issues came back next weekened with friends and better sleds. first 2 went down faster, and further than the prior week. hit a chain at the end decapitated one kid. forget about the other. ofc no raidos etc 2nd group went down and 2nd kid died rest flew off. the 2 that died were twin brothers wound up laying next to eachother. dead on impack with the chain fence or whatever.
No I get it. If someone told me I couldn't weight lift I would go crazy and do it anyway. It's the only thing holding my mental health together, I assume that's what urban climbing is for him
He could be out there soloing crags and big walls but he chooses to get himself into repeated trouble climbing buildings that are relatively easy climbs. He is clearly a decent boulderer to so i think his goals are centred around gaining attention rather than technical accomplishment.
I'm not at all athletic, but I do have severe ADHD and understand where he's coming from. It's not the attention, but moreso a middle finger towards the authorities. Also, being on top of a skyscraper is uniquely rewarding with the urban view.
I'm no climber, but I totally see your point. The thrill seems to be in the tresspass element, not the climbing itself. As you said, there must be way harder, more technically challenging climbing to be had perfectly legally. Or if he likes heights, take the lift. I've watched Alex Honnold documentaries, and totally get it. Every move has to be perfect. The challenge is overcoming the route, problem solving, reaching a point of perfection. I think this lad climbed the Forth Bridge. If they charged £50 a go and harnessed people up, it would be heaving every weekend, because it's not that difficult. Weird.
This disordered behaviour is a reaction against feeling controlled and lacking autonomy a struggle that millions of people go through every day and yet the only thing the people responsible for these feelings are willing to do is treat the societal symptoms with prison times. The answer is simple. If people have more freedom there is no cause. All my respect and good will to this man free him up
Listen to that call mate. Over 95% of adults best memories from when they were kids, is a memory in nature. As adults, and particularly in 2022, we’re more disconnected from nature than ever before. Ask yourself “what need is asking to be met?”. Maybe it’s to feel grounded, or to feel alive. Maybe it’s solitude, escape,’or community & belonging. Whatever it is though, do follow it. It doesn’t necessarily need to be climbing. It could just be urban exploring. I have a weird love for exploring old cemeteries. Nothing beats being in nature with my dog, in the quiet, and finding out little bits of peoples stories. I also feel comforted- it helps me feel that whatever I’m going through, I’m not alone because all the people who came before me had the same struggles, just in earlier clothing. Look after yourself mate
No matter how much you train, or how good you are at something, you will always make mistakes eventually or outside forces will cause you to make one. In this topic all it takes is one for it to be game over. Not a very wise hobby
Every small donation counts. I am so humbled by Adam's courage and dedication. Great work Jimmy. Such an important piece on so many levels. "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society' Krishnamurti
lmao are you gay too? because only poofs, pedophiles, and the homeless during winter are that eager to go to jail i see no courage but desperation to be spread open for an hiv donation, or pure stupidity
I've always wondered this. I climb myself and always see people getting incredibly angry from windows and balconies. Guess there's just something about it that pisses people off
I’m really, really worried for Adam, & concerned he may be suic*dal. He’s now achieved his big ‘thing’. In his own words, everything else is a bonus. That goal kept him going for the longest time. But now, that’s come and gone. All the pain and struggles he’s been ignoring by climbing, is going to come and hit him like a freight train. As an aside, just from how Adam described his overnight change in mental health & personality as a kid, I wonder if he remembers getting sick with a virus or anything around that time? There’s something called PANDAS. Paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infections. It’s pretty self explanatory, but it’s when kids get a (usually severe) neuropsychiatric illness after getting sick with strep. They show signs of OCD & tics, they have sudden and severe obsessions & compulsions. Most cases disappear by adulthood, but 5% don’t, and require further treatmentc. Was just a thought off the top of my head. I really hope Adam can make himself his next goal, and apply his same drive and discipline for climbing into becoming the most well, healthy, happy, at peace version of Adam. But he evidently needs professional and personal support to help him in that journey. Life doesn’t have to be this way forever. You’re climb in life is only just beginning Adam. You’re at the start of this wild adventure mate, not the end. We can’t wait to see what new adventures & talents you take up next Adam. Your mission and purpose is bigger than ‘just’ the physical act climbing, and you’ve already shown that with your mental health work & cause. Now it’s time to work on your biggest, most difficult climb yet. _Yourself_ . And if anyone can do it, you can
Yo man idk when you post 4 days in a row when you could have content for 4 weeks consistently. I'd personally rather see you one a week rather then 4 time one week and dead for the next 4 weeks. Not trying to sound like an ass, but I like consistency over bunches in a couple days. Happy to see you picking back up tho ik you've been stepping quite far from pk to stay relevant. Keep up the good work man
I'm experimenting with the upload strategy and currently it seems to be working. I want to build more anticipation and put more effort into better videos as opposed to churning out weekly videos. However I appreciate the feedback.
im pretty sure ive randomly watched some of his videos. he seems me him lived the exact same affect in high school but the cause was different, i was a local sponsored skateboarder in high school but then mid sophmore year i had the exact opposite. i ended up int he psych hospital for going to commit suicide but a friend called the police before i was able to. prior to this was was know as the the wild and crazy kid who had very few limits(ollied off 10+ feet buildings or trying to skate a 15 foot half pipe when i wasnt really a vert skater but the truth was it was because i didnt care what happened to me....this suicide attempt would have been try 2 at age 12 when i tried to hang myself but the rope broke.......im 35 now and i suffer from bi polar, generalized anxiety disorder and nightmare disorder but im on meds and i see my psych now every 3 months. there is a long story behind why i have them which some of it is genetics as mental health problems run deep on my moms side, yes i mean real mental illness that will never go away and im never allowed to live with a family member or close friend) anyways i rarely went to school and when i did i could have cared less but i still graduated due to a special kind of high school in america that are very different than normal schools. i went from never being home to always being home which i turned to video games and then i started playing yugioh than i was playing it professionally for a couple years. jr year of high school i went to school 50 days until the last month of school and me and my parents had to go to the police station and had to explain my situation which they understood and got me into that special school where it was 4 hours a day for 4 days. the big difference i see between out stories in early life, was i was free as a bird once i got to about 7th grade when i started skateboarding. my dad was much different than other parents. i could pretty much do w.e i wanted as long as i told him and it wasnt too late on week days. this is how free i was, my freshman year my dad called me and my best friend who was over to stay the night and wanted to let me know about certian things....i was told i could drinkas long as there is a parent in the house and there ok with it(both my best friends parents didnt really care) and that if i was to do any drugs i wouldnt get in trouble because he said he didnt wanna be a hypocrite considering my dad was a function addict but just be honest with him if i do it and if i start having issues i will help u get him(he also said he rdidnt want it to come down to that which it never did because i never did any until i was older. sry his early discription of his life in high school was me but there was other factors that were the opposite and caused us to go the other ways of doings as i became a hermit who stayed insid and he went out but i started outside a lot but then went inside, i find it fascinating how close out personalities were in high school based off description but circumstances pushed us the the other way
I can see the building owners frustrations considering the fact that if he makes one mistake what ever structure he climbs will be stained with knowing someone died climbing it but at the same time I can't see a problem doing what makes you passionate so im like teetering on whether its ok or not okay.
As someone who climbs, why not actually get into rock climbing or Alpinism? I'm not sure I understand the attraction to climb buildings and it seems like his counsellor may have indeed been right. If the climbing is simply about defying authority, then perhaps he likes defying authority rather than climbing per se.
ive never been scare of heights outisde when i was a kid....in high school i was skating off 10 foot roofs, i feel from a 15 foot half pipe form top to bottom and the worst was a minor bone bruise on my hip.....i was in a private pay to skate part and about 10 mins later i skated about another hours or so until my brain caught up with my body......i tried to go to school 1 day with cruutches but i said fuck that and i missed the rest to the week. i think the worse thing that happened was def a concussion and i had bad memory lose like it was blotches of part of my recent half year or so was very blotchy for 3-4 weeks and everything returned to normal. i broke up with my gf like a week or so before that and i didnt even remember dating her but i knew who she was because more long term i had pretty much no loss in memory. never went to the hospital but just did what i always did was wait and see. i hated hospitals most of my life with a passion. highest thing i skated off was the 12 foot side going up to the ramp i feel off but i was too long and my legs werent strong enough to keep my body up or i would have landed on the board. this is to hole other level of crazy, i understand the appeal and loved watching anything connected to it.....i love video games where things like this is a thing but iirl not for me
@@galaxysphere2958 yea that was along time ago, that was early 2000's......but things in life are much worse than i could have ever expected my life to be. sry kinda in a venting mood today and some of the people in this thread are literally some of the worst type of human beings to deal with that are more like societies drones. i could probably go one forever but if u look at some of my other replies to commets in here i posted several solo tweets and and some replies to others.....this store hits home for me in a weird way and my solo comments should explain some why and the thought that when you make a life decision that u need to think about all the people around you first for first before you make your decision. some people cant grasp in a seirous question that some people value their life completely differnely, on why u feel that way and not just for some that for some people value their life on their hobby like this over the value for their life and if they died from the climb then thats how he would have wanted to die because its obviously the thing he really cares about that deeply he would trade an attempt that could fail in death but or just not be able to do it and then still end up having to spend time in jail for doing it..
i could understand why he could have cared less about the time he was going to get for doing for prior and the shard.....there would be a lot of people on earth would trade a year of jail time if it got to meant his dream and the literal peak of a sport they were doing. i would trade a year or even a couple years of jail if it meant i got to achieve my dream. hes not going to have a hard time in jail, he was will most likely be one of the more liked and popular people where he will be at because he can tell a lot of stories that will pass time and a lot of people will respect him for going so hard against the uk government which knowing the uk there is a bunch of people in there unlawfully. i feel bad for the uk with all the stories ive heard about the corruption in the court system that is worse than america.
Watching this article is making me wonder how ally law is still able to do his youtube videos unless he's secretly getting permission cause I was looking it up yestarday and some people did mention the civil law thing
i really feel the dude ... BUT making claypots and becoming a fkn 120pound meatbag projectile that falls on someone unexpecting if he slips is kinda narrow minded. I mean i get his philosophy behind it all but he will grow up and will regret his decisions... in 90 % of all cases there is in some way the option to schedule something like this the legal way. being a risk for urself no one really cares but if u risk the life of bystanders in the middle of the city ... its kinda a shit move. And yea blah he trains and does shit ... but if he slips he slips and then its over, and in the worst case its not just over for him.
I’ve been binge watching your videos since I first saw you 2 days ago. You’re awesome dude, and your content is so much different than the average UA-camr. Also, I’m not sure if anybody has mentioned this, but you remind me of Mike Skinner from The Streets. You have the same kind of charm he has. Anyways, thanks for the great content! I wish you nothing but the best, you’re awesome!

@JimmyTheGiant You should consider doing a video on the Ally Law era from 2017-2018.
Surprisingly nobody has yet.
Thank god you gave that "don't try this at home" warning at the start, I was just about to grab my climbing gear and go to the shard
Bruh, thank UA-cam for that
@@JimmyTheGiant UA-cam is a POS

Ya agreed and very true. I love climbing but would never climb the shard to risk and noor do I have the skill to ridiculously impressive
Yeah, he’s clearly very committed and very talented. If he focused it on something that actually helps people the dude could literally climb mountains.
As someone who has ADHD and is struggling to fit in society’s boxes, and who finds solitude in exploring abandoned buildings and sometimes urban climbing, this video was a great joy to watch. I hope Adam pulls through on this one and he continues to enjoy his great passion.

With that being said, I also don't see him going for the extremes too like holding someone hostage or approaching a store owner at the till while holding a firearm as his demeanor seems to me to express enough compassion for human life to stay within societal acceptance. I think he's found his passion and, if so, I feel nothing but envy for him because it is pretty damn hard to find something in this world that encompasses peak interest while making a living off of it. This is just my opinion of course

Disliking authority is not the same as being an apathetic sociopath who will do whatever they please just because they can and they don't like being told no. What he's doing doesn't affect anyone negatively, other than that caused by an arguably oppressive legal and social system. In fact, he seems like a very empathetic person, which is a much more common trait among those who go against the grain - choosing to value the people over the system.
I always hate when article state that someone "climbed a building for a selfie" or something similar, when that's far from why they climbed it most of the time.
Don't climb Ryugyong Hotel. The worlds tallest abandoned building in North Korea
LOL
Yo Oliver, I actually have that one planned.
This is such a good video. Your research Is so good and you put alot of effort into these. Respect
And obviously respect for the nuisance himself
respect for all
True true
agreed
One thing I respect is that him and king and everyone they accept the consequences. That's something I despise in people when they commit some sort of crime so deliberately and then can't believe they get in trouble. I can sort of understand the motivation, he's pretty sure he's going to prison anyway and this might be his last chance to climb the shard. Glad he actually made it to the top hope he can survive prison
Accept the consequences? Do they though?
I mean let me lay it out for you.
They are climbing a building no safety harness or anything, inside a busy city. With a crowd of onlookers both adult and child alike.
They try to make it a sport, make it look cool and desirable to do.
But amateurs make mistakes, amateurs die.
When that happens, do these dead people accept the consequences of the damage they done to those onlookers, both adult and child alike.
When those children spend years in therapy with repeated nightmares about a man falling to his death and the gruesome scene it leaves behind.
Do you think those DEAD people, thought or even care about such consequences....i think they be dead. They dont do anything anymore.
But those spectators, those people seeing your bones sticking out of your body. Those children whom HEARD you SMASH into the ground.
I dont think they will ever forget the sound of a human hitting concrete after falling of a building.
The only consequences these pricks even consider are THEIR OWN.
I have NEVER heard any of them talk about MY consequence.
You know what i hear all the time, legal consequences. Societal consequences.
They only consider the damage they can do to themself.
Never once do i hear any one of them mention anything about the damage you could do to the people watching and witnessing your death.
@@StupidYTmakingNonSenceUpdates I think they do, because you have to think in order for that to become a consequence they have to first die. And when you do something with such high risk I'm sure you aren't constantly thinking about the fact you might die but I'm sure they do it at least once before the climb. Indeed they are hurting other people and I'm not saying that is good but I imagine that that being a consequence is something that crosses their mind and that they have to accept. I don't think you can attempt things like this or things like free soloing if you don't accept that as a consequence. And they might accept it by telling themselves what will I care I'm dead which again is a shitty way to do it but you also have to think if you are a pedestrian that decides to stop and watch a man scale a building and potentially die you have to accept some responsibility aswell. If you are watching someone risk their life you have to accept you might watch someone die.
@@peoplecallmepeechez children who's parents stop to look have a choice?
The dude that works in that building and just tries to get inside? Did he choose? The dude who just got out the building for lunchbreak, did he choose? My point is not everyone who will see him die, "choose" to see that.
When you do something INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, in a urban environment. The people going about their daily lives dont choose to get involved. If this dude fell off that crane onto traffic below, would the driver have chosen or did this dude choose for him.
The only points in your responce that rang true for me is, indeed. They may consider the trauma they may cause others and decide to do it anyway. But than why would you say you respect that they accept the consequences.
My original comment was made to show this...think well about every angle. Because you say you respect, that they accept the consequences. Yet you clearly also didnt think about this GLARINGLY MESSED UP CONSEQUENCE.
If not i severly wonder what your original point was. What is there to respect? Which consequences do they accept, REALLY?
Look at every angle, because in a busy urban environment its not about the dude coming straight at you, its about the cyclist in your dead zone. Its not about the people stopping to watch the spectacle, its about the people that have no choose. Even true proffesional free soloing. If your going to such a location, you should kinda prepare yourself that something like that may happen.
You shouldnt logically have to worry someone is gonna drop dead infront of you, when you walk out your office for lunch or when your about to go grocery shopping.
@@StupidYTmakingNonSenceUpdates no you are right and I did not consider the people going about there day in an urban environment. All I'm saying is you referred to them as spectators in your response to me and spectators seem to make their own choice but you are correct there is more people involved than spectators that I did not consider in my original post. What I respected was living life without fear of consequences and being your own ruler, but there is clearly ethical boundaries that should be considered that I had not in my original praise. So traumatizing bystanders is not respectable but seeing something you want to do and commiting whole heartedly to it despite the dangers or the consequences is respectable to me. There are many times in my life when I wish I could overcome my fear and do something and not be held back by potential consequences, but most of those things do not involve putting other people in jeopardy.
@@peoplecallmepeechez hmm...hmmm...i am 100% behind this whole statement👍
One thing I've always wondered is, how do they get back down? Like some climbs you kinda have to extend fully and I find it hard to believe you could do it in reverse. I've never seen a video where they climb down, just celebrating at the top.
Like obviously the ladder ones you just reverse, but the unique architecture buildings I just don't understand
Maybe they somehow go down the roof access stairs or somthing
If the police or security are involved they'll bring you down through roof access to the inside of the building, if they can.
Sometimes there are multiple people involved and you'll have some prep done, someone might have created building access for your escape by temporarily disabling alarms or door locks. If it's just you I guess you'd have to have a plan upfront, if you climb down again you'll get arrested straight away. If you can get into the building and descend fast enough in the lift or stairwells, you might be able to play hide and seek for a bit and make your escape.
Storror show a lot of their scouting back story in Roof Culture Asia, lots of playing hide and seek with security on roofs and in buildings lol.
You just go down the stairs or elevator. In most cases the authorities are already waiting for you at the top anyway so you go down with them.
What goes up, must come down.
@@Si74l0rdno. Urban climbers always get caught unless they have a parachute. You cant open roof access doors/hatches from the outside.
That young lad could make a ton of money doing maintenance / light replacement on communication towers and still climb as a hobby on the side. Or even at the top of the buildings he has been freeclimbing. No reason for him to be broke.
It’s not the same.
Passion takes over and the consequences mean nothing.. Always inspiring hearing stories like this! Great work as always Jimmy!
I hate that youtube hates parkour and urbex. UA-cam isn't a kids website no matter how much you try to change. Ship was sailed in 2006
for real, don't want your kids to be exposed to bad influences? don't give them a damn ipad...
The youtube kids app literally exists. I thought the entire point of that was to bring UA-cam back to being more mature.
My palms literally started sweating watching some of those building climbs! Absolutely crazy!

it has been announced that Adam will receive 24 weeks (5.5months) in jail
way more than he deserves, but less than I was expecting tbh
@@paultapping9510 you mean less than he deserves
@@TheSMR1969 For climbing up a building? He's not damaging anything or hurting anyone.
@@thelight3112 wrong, if the authorities don't see him, he could fall and injure or kill someone by landing on them, if they do, they have to cordon of the whole area wasting massive resources in an already stretched force., Not too mention if he falls the clean up costs and trauma to onlookers and possible kids witnessing such a thing
Just don't do it, it's incredibly selfish
@@TheSMR1969 Yes I agree, which is why it is illegal. I don't think it should be allowed, or he shouldn't face any consequences, but sending him to prison for months is over the top and won't fix anything.
In his case, he clearly needs mental health care. He's going to keep doing these dangerous stunts until he falls to his death, because he doesn't have anything to live for.
man, i didn't think i would relate so hard to this guy. almost brings a tear to my eye
Dedication is on another lvl with Adam 💪👊🏼💯
You should do a video on an Urbex guy named Shiey, it might be a challenge though he is rather mysterious.
That would be amazing!
One of my favorite channels. One of the coolest youtubers
Wanted mustang or alain robert might also be worthy of a mention :D
The interviews are an amazing insight though, and shiey definitely won't answer (I think).
We got our own set of crazy climbers in France too, Leo Urban and Hit the Road, they came from parkour too. If you wanna immerse into their story, they have crazy storys like the eiffel tower, the rio christ and many insane buildings.
Good for him for sticking with the things he loves. You have to remember tho that there are good reasons in the prevention of him climbing, not only for his safety but for the safety of others. Either way this video was fantastic and I actually feel happy to see him achieve his dream. ❤️
The prevention of climbing is fine. It's the way it's handled in court and that. This is seemingly the worst offence possible.
He found his dream and found a way to conquer it, respect. Hope he doesn't spend too much time in prison
URBAN EXPLORING LOOKS SO FUN
When you stopped at 4:00 I was expecting a safety warning or something, not an underpants advert! 😂
"Do not try it yourself" dude i got vertigo for climbing a ladder don't worry fear is the best safety for me
He dropped out of school when he was 15, and his parents let him stay on his xbox for 24 hours a day. Tells you something about the kind of parents he had
They wanted the easy life. And failed him.
That makes him one of the most highly educated people in Manchester tbf 👨🏻🎓 (only joking 🙃 Mancs love ❤️ you )
At least his parents taught him not to anonymously and poorly talk smack online about people who have zero impact on his life.
@@a2pabmb2 He left an abusive message on a council answerphone or did you not watch the video 👀
Exactly my thought too! Enablers
“If someone tells me not to do something, I’ll just do it”
Just tell this guy that he needs to keep climbing buildings. Problem solved.
I heavily feel this dude. It’s the reason I got into free climbing and urbex. Props to him for doing what he loves despite the consequences 🙌🏽
Yeah wasting public services when police could be solving real crimes scun
Add and adhd is coupled with depression and anxiety. Trust me I’ve struggled with it my whole life
Urbex is always about the risk to reward ratio. There's always a risk you'll get caught. However climbing the shard is 100% guarantee to get caught. If he thinks it was worth going to prison for, then fair enough.
I guess it's like people who film themselves going into abandoned buildings, amusement parks, etc.
The only problem is if he hurts someone else or inspires someone who is inexperienced to do what he is doing
There's also another problem, trespassing. Just because an establishment is open to the public doesn't mean it's public property!
Won't happen
"All kids do these days is stay inside and play videogames."
Kid goes outside and there's nothing to do so he climbs stuff.
"Not like that! Prison for you!"

I would rather see this young man feel good and be free than on medication for his depression.
It's dangerous but it's his life to risk.
Keep climbing, keep reaching higher young man.
Be safe. 🙏
i think the problem is if he hits the ground and someone sees it
that image aint ever leaving your mind
@@randomcow505 yea on top of that, he wont be alive for u to sue him if he lands on u.
Imagine seeing him fall. Imagine the mental damage that would come from seeing this young man splatter on the pavement. Imagine your family member was below him and he fell on them. Imagine he dropped his camera and it killed a child. There's many reasons he should not do it. I understand his plight and I watch many urban climbing videos. I also just know that it is incredibly stupid and shouldn't be done.
@@Tehbestestevasss it's not necessarily stupid. For instance the greatest urban climber ever, Alain Robert, clearly stayed within his limits.
What’s worst, him jumping off a building because of accumulation of depression or him climbing it to his own risk just to stay sane? I don’t understand why our societies are so afraid of different people. Why should we restrain ourselves to live a life that is full of depression. I hate our world and that is why I wanted to kill myself a few years ago. Don’t say: oh he could traumatize someone if he fall! Because these people are wanting to push him off the edge. They push him in a direction of suicide!
Good on him, fuck the establishment, live life by your own rules, life is short.
A.N.Old man 👍
This is such a valuable video in order to understand this whole situation from lil nuisance's perspective. I do parkour and am active in the community so I heard about this straight after he climbed the shard. I was sympathetic towards him from the get go coz I knew he probably wasn't just doing it for a selfie at the top but watching this video is the perfect way to understand the reasons why he did what he did and I fully side with him because of that. I hope this vudeo blows up in a way that muggles and people in the mainstream can also understand the situation from his perspective. Thankyou keiron for always making banger videos which help give people insight into things they probably would have otherwise. Keep it up man 🔥
„He didn’t do it for a selfie“ no, he does it to fuel a narcissistic adrenaline addiction. What if he falls, what if he breaks something up there, what if Looks up to him and causes an accident…yeah yeah all what ifs… but you do wear a seatbelt in your car in case of a „what if“. And please no „it’s a calculated risk bro“ then go climb some rock faces, just as dangerous but you splatter somewhere in the woods
@@Pocket-AA-Pro so you do t wear seatbelts and you do sniff gasoline. Got it
@@rcnhsuailsnyfiue2 and when it does? I once pulled a burnt corpse of a subway ..he was just „surfing“. And I can still smell him 8 years later. Victimless crime…until it becomes one
@@Pocket-AA-Pro what is the benefit of clipping that Fassade? Other than that own personal, selfish fulfillment of the adrenaline craving? The thing with the seatbelts, you see that already is a step towards your argumentation. You can climb with safety gear or you don’t. You can choose to put a seatbelt on or you don’t. But you do it, don’t you? Again, you can climb, but climbing skyscrapers in public is not the same as a rockface, and with one I have a problem with the other I don’t. I have nothing against skydiving, I don’t like skydiving without a backup chute, and I don’t like it over residential areas
The rush of escaping security or being on a rooftop edge is like nothing else. My dream is to do it in NYC but I only made it to a few my last trip
I’ve always wondered how they get down from those skyscrapers. Some of those don’t look like they have any roof access
reminds me of 2 kids that broke into mans back yard basically. where they rode down the bobsled slide or run whatever its called.
they got away no issues came back next weekened with friends and better sleds. first 2 went down faster, and further than the prior week. hit a chain at the end decapitated one kid. forget about the other.
ofc no raidos etc 2nd group went down and 2nd kid died rest flew off.
the 2 that died were twin brothers wound up laying next to eachother. dead on impack with the chain fence or whatever.
can i get some news report or something about this?
No I get it. If someone told me I couldn't weight lift I would go crazy and do it anyway. It's the only thing holding my mental health together, I assume that's what urban climbing is for him
Wondering if we could have an update video on adams situation I hope he’s pulled through and I wish him good luck
Great video Jimmy but no mention of how the pcs bill has affected the legality of trespassing in the uk
He could be out there soloing crags and big walls but he chooses to get himself into repeated trouble climbing buildings that are relatively easy climbs. He is clearly a decent boulderer to so i think his goals are centred around gaining attention rather than technical accomplishment.
I'm not at all athletic, but I do have severe ADHD and understand where he's coming from. It's not the attention, but moreso a middle finger towards the authorities. Also, being on top of a skyscraper is uniquely rewarding with the urban view.
I'm no climber, but I totally see your point. The thrill seems to be in the tresspass element, not the climbing itself. As you said, there must be way harder, more technically challenging climbing to be had perfectly legally. Or if he likes heights, take the lift.
I've watched Alex Honnold documentaries, and totally get it. Every move has to be perfect. The challenge is overcoming the route, problem solving, reaching a point of perfection.
I think this lad climbed the Forth Bridge. If they charged £50 a go and harnessed people up, it would be heaving every weekend, because it's not that difficult. Weird.
This disordered behaviour is a reaction against feeling controlled and lacking autonomy a struggle that millions of people go through every day and yet the only thing the people responsible for these feelings are willing to do is treat the societal symptoms with prison times. The answer is simple. If people have more freedom there is no cause. All my respect and good will to this man free him up
this video legit made me cry. dont know why but it just touched. Maybe i need to start freeclimbing haha
Listen to that call mate. Over 95% of adults best memories from when they were kids, is a memory in nature. As adults, and particularly in 2022, we’re more disconnected from nature than ever before. Ask yourself “what need is asking to be met?”. Maybe it’s to feel grounded, or to feel alive. Maybe it’s solitude, escape,’or community & belonging.
Whatever it is though, do follow it. It doesn’t necessarily need to be climbing. It could just be urban exploring. I have a weird love for exploring old cemeteries. Nothing beats being in nature with my dog, in the quiet, and finding out little bits of peoples stories. I also feel comforted- it helps me feel that whatever I’m going through, I’m not alone because all the people who came before me had the same struggles, just in earlier clothing.
Look after yourself mate
Absolutely spoiling us Jimmy, keep up top work laa!
What a beautiful human being. Hope it all turns out alright for him.
Massively respect this, he has managed to achieve some incredible feats in climbing I can't even begin to dream to do

@@euphka7687 Yep
I’m really, really worried for Adam, & concerned he may be suic*dal. He’s now achieved his big ‘thing’. In his own words, everything else is a bonus.
That goal kept him going for the longest time. But now, that’s come and gone. All the pain and struggles he’s been ignoring by climbing, is going to come and hit him like a freight train.
As an aside, just from how Adam described his overnight change in mental health & personality as a kid, I wonder if he remembers getting sick with a virus or anything around that time? There’s something called PANDAS.
Paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infections.
It’s pretty self explanatory, but it’s when kids get a (usually severe) neuropsychiatric illness after getting sick with strep.
They show signs of OCD & tics, they have sudden and severe obsessions & compulsions.
Most cases disappear by adulthood, but 5% don’t, and require further treatmentc. Was just a thought off the top of my head.
I really hope Adam can make himself his next goal, and apply his same drive and discipline for climbing into becoming the most well, healthy, happy, at peace version of Adam. But he evidently needs professional and personal support to help him in that journey.
Life doesn’t have to be this way forever. You’re climb in life is only just beginning Adam. You’re at the start of this wild adventure mate, not the end.
We can’t wait to see what new adventures & talents you take up next Adam. Your mission and purpose is bigger than ‘just’ the physical act climbing, and you’ve already shown that with your mental health work & cause. Now it’s time to work on your biggest, most difficult climb yet. _Yourself_ . And if anyone can do it, you can

Massive respect to him
im pretty sure ive randomly watched some of his videos. he seems me him lived the exact same affect in high school but the cause was different, i was a local sponsored skateboarder in high school but then mid sophmore year i had the exact opposite. i ended up int he psych hospital for going to commit suicide but a friend called the police before i was able to. prior to this was was know as the the wild and crazy kid who had very few limits(ollied off 10+ feet buildings or trying to skate a 15 foot half pipe when i wasnt really a vert skater but the truth was it was because i didnt care what happened to me....this suicide attempt would have been try 2 at age 12 when i tried to hang myself but the rope broke.......im 35 now and i suffer from bi polar, generalized anxiety disorder and nightmare disorder but im on meds and i see my psych now every 3 months. there is a long story behind why i have them which some of it is genetics as mental health problems run deep on my moms side, yes i mean real mental illness that will never go away and im never allowed to live with a family member or close friend) anyways i rarely went to school and when i did i could have cared less but i still graduated due to a special kind of high school in america that are very different than normal schools. i went from never being home to always being home which i turned to video games and then i started playing yugioh than i was playing it professionally for a couple years. jr year of high school i went to school 50 days until the last month of school and me and my parents had to go to the police station and had to explain my situation which they understood and got me into that special school where it was 4 hours a day for 4 days.
the big difference i see between out stories in early life, was i was free as a bird once i got to about 7th grade when i started skateboarding. my dad was much different than other parents. i could pretty much do w.e i wanted as long as i told him and it wasnt too late on week days. this is how free i was, my freshman year my dad called me and my best friend who was over to stay the night and wanted to let me know about certian things....i was told i could drinkas long as there is a parent in the house and there ok with it(both my best friends parents didnt really care) and that if i was to do any drugs i wouldnt get in trouble because he said he didnt wanna be a hypocrite considering my dad was a function addict but just be honest with him if i do it and if i start having issues i will help u get him(he also said he rdidnt want it to come down to that which it never did because i never did any until i was older.
sry his early discription of his life in high school was me but there was other factors that were the opposite and caused us to go the other ways of doings as i became a hermit who stayed insid and he went out but i started outside a lot but then went inside, i find it fascinating how close out personalities were in high school based off description but circumstances pushed us the the other way
Thanks for sharing your story man, it’s awesome to see things from another person’s perspective.
I have a crazy fear of heights. This is a f&cking nightmare
I can see the building owners frustrations considering the fact that if he makes one mistake what ever structure he climbs will be stained with knowing someone died climbing it but at the same time I can't see a problem doing what makes you passionate so im like teetering on whether its ok or not okay.
Respect to this man, good on him for following his chosen path
Excuse me, what path? One day that lunatic will snap and fall on somebody and probably hurt them.
Don't you ever give it up! There you go, sorted it.
As someone who climbs, why not actually get into rock climbing or Alpinism? I'm not sure I understand the attraction to climb buildings and it seems like his counsellor may have indeed been right. If the climbing is simply about defying authority, then perhaps he likes defying authority rather than climbing per se.
My thoughts exactly! Plus, you have legitimate climbers doing buildering!
You should make something like this about ally law
I get soooo scared when I see him standing up on a building
ive never been scare of heights outisde when i was a kid....in high school i was skating off 10 foot roofs, i feel from a 15 foot half pipe form top to bottom and the worst was a minor bone bruise on my hip.....i was in a private pay to skate part and about 10 mins later i skated about another hours or so until my brain caught up with my body......i tried to go to school 1 day with cruutches but i said fuck that and i missed the rest to the week. i think the worse thing that happened was def a concussion and i had bad memory lose like it was blotches of part of my recent half year or so was very blotchy for 3-4 weeks and everything returned to normal. i broke up with my gf like a week or so before that and i didnt even remember dating her but i knew who she was because more long term i had pretty much no loss in memory. never went to the hospital but just did what i always did was wait and see. i hated hospitals most of my life with a passion. highest thing i skated off was the 12 foot side going up to the ramp i feel off but i was too long and my legs werent strong enough to keep my body up or i would have landed on the board.
this is to hole other level of crazy, i understand the appeal and loved watching anything connected to it.....i love video games where things like this is a thing but iirl not for me
@@imwithyou38 oh wow bro that's rough hope ur great now
@@galaxysphere2958 yea that was along time ago, that was early 2000's......but things in life are much worse than i could have ever expected my life to be. sry kinda in a venting mood today and some of the people in this thread are literally some of the worst type of human beings to deal with that are more like societies drones. i could probably go one forever but if u look at some of my other replies to commets in here i posted several solo tweets and and some replies to others.....this store hits home for me in a weird way and my solo comments should explain some why and the thought that when you make a life decision that u need to think about all the people around you first for first before you make your decision.
some people cant grasp in a seirous question that some people value their life completely differnely, on why u feel that way and not just for some that for some people value their life on their hobby like this over the value for their life and if they died from the climb then thats how he would have wanted to die because its obviously the thing he really cares about that deeply he would trade an attempt that could fail in death but or just not be able to do it and then still end up having to spend time in jail for doing it..
I'm somehow scared of heights for others but not when I'm the one in danger
Defiant. Love it

i could understand why he could have cared less about the time he was going to get for doing for prior and the shard.....there would be a lot of people on earth would trade a year of jail time if it got to meant his dream and the literal peak of a sport they were doing. i would trade a year or even a couple years of jail if it meant i got to achieve my dream. hes not going to have a hard time in jail, he was will most likely be one of the more liked and popular people where he will be at because he can tell a lot of stories that will pass time and a lot of people will respect him for going so hard against the uk government which knowing the uk there is a bunch of people in there unlawfully. i feel bad for the uk with all the stories ive heard about the corruption in the court system that is worse than america.
Not sure what the prisons in the UK are like, but as an American there's no dream big enough to make 2 years of prison worth it.

That looks like Ally Law at 11.21 . What video was that when they climbed together?
Sweating watching this 😮
7:05 me on cyberpunk the second I get those double jump legs.
This guy could work as a repair man on tall structures.
Watching this article is making me wonder how ally law is still able to do his youtube videos unless he's secretly getting permission cause I was looking it up yestarday and some people did mention the civil law thing
love your vids keep up the great work
BRAVE BOY!
Lovely vid man 🙏👌
i really feel the dude ... BUT making claypots and becoming a fkn 120pound meatbag projectile that falls on someone unexpecting if he slips is kinda narrow minded.
I mean i get his philosophy behind it all but he will grow up and will regret his decisions... in 90 % of all cases there is in some way the option to schedule something like this the legal way.
being a risk for urself no one really cares but if u risk the life of bystanders in the middle of the city ... its kinda a shit move.
And yea blah he trains and does shit ... but if he slips he slips and then its over, and in the worst case its not just over for him.
or some kid copies him and dies
banger vid keep it up
Check out Mustang Wanted. That guy is next level shock, and leaves this guy as 'B' at best!
love this kid, think i'm going to have to write a punk song about him.
I don’t get it. Climbing a building is a victimless crime.
I’ve been binge watching your videos since I first saw you 2 days ago. You’re awesome dude, and your content is so much different than the average UA-camr. Also, I’m not sure if anybody has mentioned this, but you remind me of Mike Skinner from The Streets. You have the same kind of charm he has.
Anyways, thanks for the great content! I wish you nothing but the best, you’re awesome!
Hi man just wanna let you know love your vids
there's a wing of my American family that are British, the live in Essex and all the kids have English accents and their last name is Lockwood too! It's a cool-sounding name.
Watching this back a couple months later, I saw that jimmy donated 100 pounds to Adam to help with legal fees
❤
Makes my hands sweaty watching this
Banger after banger Jimmy ... 🤌
Just let them climb
We love you bud. Hope you get out of the legal shit with a good lawyer. Keep doing what you love. Beurocracy sucks
it's always been a dream of mine to do a human flag on the top Shard....
For someone doing something so cool it's actually amazing how he's so unlikable.
Oh shit, Hard to watch. I'm getting nervous & afraid looking at that footage while sitting on the couch
