You're standing in Munich's Olympic Park, right at the foot of the Olympic Tower. Go on, tip your head back. This concrete needle rises 291 metres, making it the second tallest structure in Bavaria, after the broadcasting tower in Nuremberg. It weighs around 52,500 tons. See those bulges way up the shaft? That's where the platforms are, and we'll get to those in a moment.
