This building - modelled on a shard of ice - sits slap bang in the middle of Shell's three London headquarters. They don't want us talking about their plan to drill in the Arctic. We're here to shout about it from the rooftops. Join in by sharing this far and wide.

I hope they manage it, all the best to those pesky spiderwomen.

This is the best news today. Take this protest to the top. #IceClimb

 

[weltweit]

Good luck to em.

I wouldn't be able to do it, first I am not a woman, and secondly and more importantly I don't have a head for heights.

i always thought it was supposed to be like a shard of broken glass.

 

[weltweit]

Is there any valid reason why it is an all female climbing team?

I mean, men care about the Arctic also!!

Get up there then.

 

[weltweit]

Get up there then.

I don't think, in panic inexperienced climber falls to his death!

Has the publicity ring these people are really looking for!

A shard of broken hearts and dreams, maybe?

Didn't someone say 'There is no such thing as bad publicity'
Don't do it though weltweit, if you did plummet think how bad we would feel!

They're half way up!

If it was 6 men, would you say "any reason why it's an all male climbing team? I mean, women care about the Arctic also"?

 

[butchersapron]

is there any reason their gender was mentioned in the thread title though?

As it happens, apparently most of the Greenpeace climbing team are female

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I thought that. Nobody would say an all-male team was scaling the Shard.

 

[butchersapron]

Every day is all-male team scaling the Shard day.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Greenpeace seem to be making something of it, guess they know a bit about marketing

 

[DotCommunist]

doesn't count if you are washing the windows as you go

 

[Pickman's model]

As it happens, apparently most of the Greenpeace climbing team are female

but this won't count unless they climb back down - taking the stairs or lift is cheating

 

[Pickman's model]

If it was 6 men, would you say "any reason why it's an all male climbing team? I mean, women care about the Arctic also"?

no, i'd find a better turn of phrase

Don't do it though weltweit, if you did plummet think how bad we would feel!

specially if one of us broke your fall

 

[weltweit]

You make a good point, if it had been 6 men I might well not have said anything.
The assumptions we make eh

This might explain why my mum wasn't down at the allotment this morning
