Watch: Man Climbs Epcot's Mexico Pavilion

The incident happened recently during the theme park's Food & Wine Festival.

The Mexico Pavilion at Disney’s Epcot isn’t exactly Mount Everest, but it those with a passion for climbing just can’t resist its temptation.

At least that was the case recently when a man reportedly scaled the attraction as video cameras rolled. The man managed to make it all the way to the top, scoot down the side and avoid guards in the process, Click Orlando reported. A woman who attempted to follow suit wasn’t so lucky. The station reported she was quickly stopped by security.

A video showing the man’s ascent was posted on YouTube Tuesday. It has already garnered more than 120,000 views. Its poster explained the man was “drinking with a group of friends” before scaling the iconic structure, which was designed to pay homage to ancient Mesoamerican pyramids.
