“Chris Hilton made a spectacle of himself, and then helped make a film about it. He produced a social analysis with an act of exhibitionism and then exhibited his analysis in public. In practicing this mode of (very athletic) effeteness, he brought down the Tower not by renouncing the heights, but by reaching them instead. In this way, he invented a form of vernacular criticism which does not miss the point about the kind of wealth and power invested in urban towers-but rather, makes a spectacle about that very point.” - Great Moments in Social Climbing: King Kong and the Human Fly,
