Spotted this on the Argus's website today. First the article says they are Free climbers, then it talks about UE and OT gets a mention for the Cement works chimney!

Urban climber scaled Brighton Wheel during night (From The Argus)

Cheers for the mention Argus !

The craze was first reported in The Argus five years ago when it emerged a group of daredevils were climbing some of the tallest buildings in Sussex and posting pictures of their feats on the internet.

One man who called himself Oxygen Thief scaled a 250ft chimney at the derelict site of Shoreham Cement Works, which closed in 1991.

Shame that lad got rumbled, being held by the security staff. I doubt they have the right to do that for a non-criminal offence.

Pesky climbers again

Yeah, good effort regardless. Better planning next time.

"Security staff detained the man and handed him over to police after the incident on Sunday night."

I swear private security staff can't do that...

But props to the guy that done it - nice work, just shame it didn't go to plan haha!!

Fair play to him for trying, I go past this a lot and have thought about having a look but that part of town is just never quiet!

security staff cant hold you for trespass unless you have caused harm or damage in any way, but thay will try to assert affority over you ...... dont let them ..... no your rights.... impressed oj in the paper and a big well done to the Free climbers ....

He played it by the book, listened to and did what secca asked, police got called and was talked to as no offence was committed... pure top class.... just a shame they did not get all the way up,,, would be nice to see the photos and video anyhow....

19/20 years old.... compliment
