Video: Climbing to the top of the Premier Inn

By Bristol24/7  Sunday Feb 26, 2017

A group of daredevils with a head for heights have filmed their journey climbing to the top of the Premier Inn tower on The Haymarket overlooking the Bearpit:

“Was tiring climbing all the stairs but the view made up for it,” wrote Dylan Rhodes on YouTube.

“Sketchiest part of it all was climbing the window cleaner machine to get a cool shot. It was great fun to film, love exploring tall buildings in the day as theres so much more to view!”

Eighteen-year-old Rhodes describes himself as having “a wild desire for experiencing wild heights and cool places; and I’ll go anywhere to take pictures of them”

His YouTube channel features climbs of cranes, buildings, scaffolding, bridges.

And his Instagram photos are not for the faint-hearted:
