KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 5 — Weeks of research and surveillance, over 20 hours of hiding in a small concrete box and soreness summed up the Russian daredevil Angela Nikolau's quest...
She said in the Twitter thread of multiple posts that she fell in love with Merdeka 118 tower the moment she saw it, and she decided to"discover” it.
“I rented an apartment with a good view of the tower so I could conduct surveillance of the building.To start the mission, the 29-year-old said she wore a hijab, glasses and builder’s uniform to be unnoticeable.“I had to lie down on the concrete floor naked to cool down a little bit. I drank all the water I had.”“I sheltered in a small concrete box where I could not even stretch my legs.After nearly 25 hours, she got going and ran to the spire while the workers were on their break.
News of Nikolau and Beerkus scaling the 679-meter building first broke on December 27, after a photo of the couple atop the tower was posted on SkyscraperCity.com. The couple confirmed their stunt two days later on Instagram by posting videos and drone footage of them on the peak of the skyscraper’s spire.
