A building climb is an activity where individuals ascend the exterior of a building, often using climbing gear or techniques similar to those used in rock climbing. This can include scaling walls, ledges, or other architectural features. Building climbs can be done for sport, recreation, or as part of a competition, and they require a good understanding of climbing safety and techniques. In some cities, building climbing has gained popularity as an extreme sport, with climbers seeking out tall structures like skyscrapers or historical buildings. Events such as the Red Bull Climb challenge participants to race to the top of designated buildings, showcasing their skills and endurance. Safety measures, including harnesses and ropes, are essential to prevent accidents during these climbs.
