Back when this project almost happened in 2013 or something.
And so I'd scouted some buildings then.
The Burj was just a little too extreme.
It was just too hard.
But someday, maybe.
Who knows?
Yeah, it's super slippery.
Also, it's just the way the holds are.
Like, I mean, the beauty of Type 0101 is that the holds, like, they're good things to hold that are close together.
And you're just like, and you can hold them and you feel secure.
The Burge, I can barely span tip to tip to, like, reach between the holds.
And so then your face is, like, right against the glass.
You're, like, holding on like this.
And it's pretty hard.
And you have to do the same thing 112 times in a row.
it's like pretty hard to do it once.
Then you have to do a hundred times.
You're like, it's kind of hard.
There were some quotes that were kind of taken out of context because yeah, a New York times reporter asked me how much I was getting paid.
And I was kind of like, Oh, I don't want to talk about it.
