160m of 93 year old rusting Soviet steelwork.

I'd have told my news editor to jog off.

Yep - my logic would be that if it is survived a Russian winter it will survive my ascent.

Its Made by the soviets, I'd be happier at the top of that than the top of a new build.

I like the bit where there were holes the size of a fist and the wobbly walkway.

Not for me thanks.

I'm disappointed it has a lift, thought the BBC chap would have to climb 160m worth of ladders!

It's a hugely important piece of architecture/ engineering, elements of it are being used today in tower design. To demolish it to allow a no doubt hideous new tower would be a travesty.
