"I plan the climb so I know what to expect," he said. "It is rare I can't climb a building -- its only the law that will stop me, not the building."
He will make at least one visit to his intended climb before scaling it. The Hong Kong climb was planned a month ago on a previous visit. The Cheung Kong Centre was not built when he made his first climb here in 1996, when he climbed the Far East Finance Centre.
The climb will be a precursor to a series of five legal climbs on different buildings in each continent to help promote UNESCO projects.
"I will have to use ropes for those -- it is against my soul, but it is for UNESCO. How can I say no?" he said.
