Man Arrested After Climbing Las Vegas Sphere
A man was arrested on Wednesday after climbing the Sphere in Las Vegas.
The New York Post identified the man as Madison Des Champs, a self-proclaimed “skyscraper climber.”
Des Champs evidently live-streamed his climb on Instagram and told his followers that he undertook the feat in order to raise money for a homeless pregnant woman.
Des Champs has apparently scaled other buildings in the past for similar causes.
The Sphere, which cost over $2 billion to construct, stands over 350-feet fall and is layered with an “exposphere” of LED screens.
U2 are due to play at the Sphere this evening as part of their run of shows coinciding with the Super Bowl. Phish and Dead & Company also have shows on the books at the Sphere in the coming months.
