In response to the videos being posted, Twitter users joked about the climber’s appetite for adventure so early in the working week.

“People out that early climbing the shard on a Monday morning, I can’t even get out of bed in time,” said one.

Another commented: “What the f***. Hope he had a GoPro with him. Looking forward to this video!”
