The footage of DesChamps scaling the tower quickly became one of the most popular videos ever uploaded on the internet. As he made his way to the top of the climb, which took him around one hour, he scaled a ventilation shaft that was three feet wide and was located outside.
At the top, law enforcement officers were waiting for him, and as soon as they saw him, they took him into jail. Captain Todd Keller of the Phoenix Fire Department issued a resounding condemnation of the prank.
Who is Maison DesChamps?
Des Champs was born in Hartland, Michigan, and currently studies finance at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He spent his childhood there. According to what he wrote on his website, he started climbing “instantly fell in love” with the sport when he was 16 years old and travelled to California.
DesChamps, who is only 22 years old, live-streamed portions of the climb to his Instagram page. DesChamps has engaged in unauthorised climbing of structures in the past, so this is not his first time doing so.
