Kahnawake’s own Albert Stalk began as most ironworkers do, by picking up the trade from his father, but he would soon become world renowned for his daring feats. He earned the nickname “Eiffel Al” for being the first person to ever climb Paris’ Eiffel Tower without safety gear. A modeling career, an ill-fated commercial for running shoes, and an iconic game show appearance followed the stunt.
