To suggest he does it for media exposure is unfair. He does it because he enjoys it. If it was media exposure, there are better and safer ways of doing it.

In your image he's stood on top in a precarious position and waving his arms (I presume at those watching him) if that's not media whoring then I don't know what is? Along with his website and the buildings he's legally climbed I beg to uphold my suggestion. Why doesn't he just do it, take a picture from the top then just vanish instead of waving to the crowd. It also begs the question as to why he wasn't the first up El Capitan... He's fixated on climbing where he shouldn't climb, nothing more and nothing less
