It might have been a couple years back, but there were a series of
free climbing photos posted on here. I remember on was 3 or 4 young
guys...maybe early 20s and I'd guess it was in the UK. They had
jackets/blazers and sweaters under them. They were on a power line
under construction. One had climbed to the bottom of an insulator
which was as tall or taller than he was. The photo also showed a
rural, hilly area. Those towers were big!
It was a whole series, including the Empire State Bldg, Golden Gate
bridge, the power line, and others IIRC.
Some of them would have been a rather high pucker factor even with
today's climbing gear. These guys didn't even have a rope. Just
proof, that Darwin's theory also includes the lucky!<:-))
Wish I could find them. I'd save them this time!

There is a famous shot of Iron works abreast eating lunch, not
straddled but sitting sideways like on a bench, atop the Empire state
Building

I assume smoking or 2nd hand smoke was of much concern !
