we believe this man to be dan goodwin. he's got somebody, an agent, i suppose, on the sidewalk down along mission street at millennium tower handing out a press release saying, yes, this is "skyscraper man." he's done this in spots around the world. the san francisco police said we won't make an attempt to make things dangerous in an attempt to arrest him until he gets to the top. so they are keep his distance because he's still standing on the edge of the building making sure no accidents happen and allowing this man to unhook from his equipment. >> and one more story to go. they're going to allow him to make it to the very tippy top of the building. the police officer is stepping back when he put his suction cups on the wall so he could make it up that next story. >> and if you're not familiar with the millennium tower this is 58 stories. but this is all residential. it never opened until april of 2009 so obviously, it caught the eye of skyscraper man pretty quickly. but there he is, at the very top. again as you pointed
