If anyone is interested...
The building is 55 stories tall, and the climbing consists of lay-backing on overhanging glass. While no individual move is as hard as that sounds, it gets very pumpy after 600' of laybacks.
This event will be broadcast live on ESPN Asia (except Korea) and will be televised twice in the USA on ESPN.
There is a short video available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtOKNpmIkZM

Edited to fix a link and some terrible spelling.
Cheers,
-Mike

Looks like the top ropes are taking some of their weight? strange.
