A daring climber scaled the north face of the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Sunday, marking the final day of the Olympics. The climber reached midway up the iconic structure before being intercepted by police, French media reported.

Videos circulating on social media captured the bare-chested adventurer navigating his way up the tower without the aid of ropes. Remarkably, he skirted the Olympic rings as he ascended.

In one particularly striking video, the climber is seen grinning as he comments to bystanders about the warm weather. 'Bloody warm, innit?' he quipped. A spokesperson for the Paris police stated they did not have sufficient details to provide further comment. The Eiffel Tower's operator also did not respond to requests for remarks.
