Passersby might have thought they saw James Bond rappelling down the Wit Hotel, but it was actually tuxedo-clad Wilmette native Nick Saule, rappelling to fight lung disease at The Skyline Plunge. Dangling 278 feet above the intersection of State and Lake, Saule accessorized his outfit with a helmet cam to document his feat while supporters from Balani Custom Clothiers, where Saule is a clothing consultant, cheered him on. The event raised $71,000 to benefit the Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago. Twenty-seven stories later Saule had his feet firmly on the ground, but guests couldn’t stop talking about doing it again. Photography by Balani Custom Clothiers
