## Resource

Two daredevils, Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, scaled the Empire State Building live, unfurled a peace-loving banner from 1,450 feet, and pulled off a wild twist: Ivan proposed on top, Angela posted her engagement ring, and they got arrested—then got engaged. With roots in circus, dance, and music, they’ve turned climbing into art and rebellion, proving love and adventure go hand in hand—even if it means defying gravity and the law.
