        Shortly after reading this article I was shocked to read this since I was up at Grouse taking the gondola up a day before this incident. I couldn't help to think what was this guy thinking? Who decides there going to climb up the gondola tower and cause such a scene? Reports are saying that the 23 year old climbed up after veering off from the Grouse Grind. After spending close to 2 hours up there the victim was willing to come down but "was too scared to descend by himself." After everything the rescue crew was able to get him down safely. He survived "cold and uninjured". After backing up the gondola tower for the public and getting the police and rescue involved I don't know what goes through people's minds. To cause all of this unnecessary frustration of them having to get him down safely all for whatever his reasons were is crazy. People really need to start thinking before they decide to climb up a tower with no idea how there going to get down.
