Did you actually go and read his website - if you did you would see that he raises money for charity by climbing these buildings...Anyway, most climbers I know have been known to solo on buildings (often when pissed), he's just taken it to an extreme. Vertigo isn't the same as a fear of heights (acrophobia, I think). Vertigo is a weird dizzy sensation that some people get when near big drops (what climbers would call airy or exposed). I know - I get it. Doesn't stop me climbing though... That guy is still a git for being such a good climber.
