Speed Climber Marcin Dzieński attempts to climb faster than an elevator.
He is joined by Alex Pettitt who tries to understand exactly how this can even work.

The project involved climbing a specially constructed 23-metre climbing wall before an elevator that was positioned right next to him reached the same height. The ideal location for this project happened to be Poland’s Olympic Centre, in Warsaw, where there was space to build the wall next to the building's elevator.
