After attending the Outbreak Europe international festival in Banská Bystrica and having mastered the local building of the shopping centre Europa, he also came to Bratislava to climb the UFO observatory tower on the SNP Bridge.

“Between 7:33 and 8:00, he climbed one of the ropes in the middle of the SNP Bridge all the way to the top of the Bratislava’s UFO,” the Sme daily quoted from Red Bull website on August 7.
