Daredevil Climbs One Of World’s Tallest Towers Before Realizing It’s Covered In Grease
Adam Lockwood, a free climber from Manchester, shared the daring stunt on his YouTube Channel Nuisance, where he has over 15,000 subscribers.
In the viral video, titled ‘Hanging off the tallest crane in Dubai (390m) after getting caught,’ his impressive skills and the immense challenge he faced are captured.

Lockwood’s adventure began with a bold infiltration – security guards initially halted his access to the crane atop the 77-story Il Primo residential skyscraper, near the iconic Burj Khalifa.
But through quick thinking and Google Translate, Lockwood convinced a guard he was a worker who had forgotten something
The free climber recalled: “He showed me the stairs, watched me walk down a floor, and left. I changed to the opposite stairwell and carried on going up, my blag worked.”
Still, the ascent through the building was fraught with obstacles – workers were present on almost every floor, forcing him to switch stairwells multiple times over two hours.
Once he reached the top, another challenge awaited: he had only brought a single GoPro battery, which was nearly drained.
This left Lockwood with just minutes to record his fearless climb.

Lockwood’s video documented his daring movements along the crane’s structure.
