Enforcer

George King disguises himself as businessmen, runners, and passed-out drunks -- all to gather intel on some of the world's most secure and iconic buildings so that he can illegally free-climb them without any safety equipment what-so-ever.
When he was just 19, after months of preparation, he climbed London's famous Shard. The stunt landed him in prison – but since then his obsession has grown stronger.
VICE World News speaks to George and his childhood friend Caspar to hear how he planned his most famous climb, how his adrenaline-fueled hobby was born, and how it became more extreme over the years.
