Crowds watched as the 21-year-old British free climber made his way to the top of the 116m Melia Barcelona Sky Hotel in the Spanish city.

As he was coming down, he was arrested by the Mossos d’Esquadra, the Catalan regional police and faces a fine.

“When I was at the top I felt that I was in another dimension of bliss,” King told Reuters. “When I met the police on the way down my head was still in the clouds.”

King scaled the Barcelona hotel in about 20 minutes.
