Slips and slides as hundreds run up slippery mast

Hundreds of people have clambered up a slippery mast as part of a challenge in Plymouth.

Red Bull brought its Up The Mast event back to the Barbican and Sutton Harbour following its debut in the city in 2025.

A crowd of about 7,000 attended as participants attempted to climb up the greased mast as quickly as possible to capture a flag before landing in water.

The challenge, which had 260 competitors, was won by student Archie Zarezadeh who said "it's not something you do every day" but was "chuffed" to win.
