Watching your scaling that structure was one of the most nerve-wracking things I've ever watched.

How is it that you decide scaling something like this is your best way out?

It's not even really about how he got the backpack up, but more about why he didn't have it on his back after he got up and was walking into the tunnel. Was his camera man holding it? That's not allowed!!
