"I have no idea how she did it," Wonfor, an acting captain and 22-year veteran of the Toronto Fire Service, said of the woman, adding that her boots appeared to have two-inch heels.

"She has to tell me how she did it, because she has to be our new training officer for high-angle [rescue], because it's impressive," he said. "It was hard enough for me to go up with ropes and harnesses and she free-climbed that."

This looks like a construction crane, so why didn't they just lower either the boom or the cable that she was on?

Seemed like it would have made the "rescue" a whole lot easier to accomplish.

That would have been my first two thoughts, instead of going up after her.

Not sure but think cable going through hook region moves. She would have nothing to hold on to. They did attempt or think about that.

How she got down the cable with no gloves is amazing. Wonder just how drunk she was. Obviously drunk enough to do it and not too drunk to do it.
