"Approach at night, wearing dark clothes and in an unmarked van. The intitial tricky pitch to the roof of London Road station gains an spacious belay ledge. Initial care must be taken to avoid disturbing any nearby policemen. However, once on the 72-storey route, climbers can relax and live webcast, tweet and unfurl banners"
