San Francisco Hippies Put Their Rock Climbing Skills to Use

Three protestors climbed up the suspension cables of the Golden Gate Bridge yesterday, hanging "Free Tibet" and "One World, One Dream" signs in protest of China's occupation of the country. Organized by the Students For a Free Tibet, the protest came one day before Beijing's olympic torch relay was to take place in San Francisco. Here, one of the climbers calls the local CBS news station and speaks with the news caster live while midair. The three climbers took about 45 minutes to secure the banners before descending and allowing police to arrest them. Curious to see what it looks like to climb the Golden Gate?
