“What the hell is going on with this guy,” you hear him say as he spots the mysterious climber at the top of the upright drawbridge.
Newball said, “This can’t be true. He must be crazy.’
The daredevil was seen slowly creeping up before finally reaching the top and clinging to the edge.
He then took one hand off and began pumping the air behind him with his fist before letting out a huge cheer.
The man then went back down as the bridge was about to come to an end – and when he was half way down he gave another shout of joy and began to wave.
Horns blared on the boats passing nearby.
Newball said, “A boat came by and they started clapping.”
As the boat leveled, he began to run away before bowing and showing his appreciation to the throng of people watching him.
