Up + Adam with Adam Montiel


No Rope. No Permission. No Fear: Just the Eiffel Tower and our Friend Adam Lockwood

September 10, 2025

In this episode of Up+Adam, broadcaster Adam Montiel chats with urban free climber Adam Lockwood, known around the world as Nuisance. You’ve probably seen one of his videos without even realizing it was him: scaling towers, cranes, and high-rises barefoot, no ropes, no permission, and somehow, no fear. But behind every climb is something deeper.


Recorded before his jaw-dropping jump off the Eiffel Tower (yes, that one), this conversation captures the raw heart of why Adam climbs, what it feels like to be alone hundreds of meters above a sleeping city, and how one Polaroid at a time, he’s turning risk into art and adrenaline into awareness.


They talk about what it means to flirt with death, to move through trauma, and to make peace with silence at altitude. And just wait until you hear the story behind the Shard climb, the train surfing in Paris, and why fear isn't his fuel,  focus is.
