	Description:		Today I am joined by one of the most spectacular young men in this country in Mr George King. At the age of 19 he managed to climb, what was then Europes tallest building in 'The Shard', an incredible achievement, but made even more remarkable with the fact that he used no - ropes or assistance - it was a free climb! Upon summiting the dizzy 310 metre height of the Shard he was congratulated by the police and set free - sadly the Shard legal team pressed charges against him, which resulted in a £100,000 court case which resulted in George getting a 6 month sentence at Britains most notorious prison 'HMP Pentonville'. During his stay he roomed with; rapists, murderers and a man who ended up on a psychiatric ward and witnessed; stabbings, suicide, drugs, fights and gang warfare like you could never believe - listen to his incredible story now.
