WATCH – For a second time someone climbed a giant sculpture in Denver and had to be rescued

Jan 13, 2026, 4:19 PM

My mama always said, “if it ain’t yours, don’t touch it,” but clearly not everyone got that memo…

For the second time in two months, someone decided to climb a 100-foot-tall sculpture in the Denver Tech Center.

The sculpture known as the “DTC Identity Monument” does kind of look like a ladder, but is NOT for climbing. A guy on Dec. 9th didn’t heed that advice and had to be rescued. Today, another person climbed the sculpture and again had to be rescued by firefighters.

There’s no word on whether or not it’s the same person who keeps climbing the art installation. No criminal charges were brought against the man the first time, but maybe it’s time for that to happen…
