Dan Goodwin

Daniel Goodwin, born on 7 November 1955, is an American rock climber best known for performing gymnastic like flag maneuvers and one arm flyoffs while free soloing difficult rock climbs on national television, and for buildering on skyscrapers. Dressed in a Spider-Man suit he scaled the Sears Tower in Chicago on Memorial Day 1981, then the Renaissance Tower in Dallas and the John Hancock Center in Chicago in the same year, the North Tower of the World Trade Center in 1983, the CN Tower in Toronto in 1986, the Millennium Tower in San Francisco in 2010 and the Torre Telefonica in Santiago, Chile in 2014. He said that his climbs were meant to draw attention to the difficulty of rescuing people from high rise buildings, a concern that began when he watched the 1980 MGM Grand fire in Las Vegas.
