California Governor Gavin Newsom climbed a cable on the Golden Gate Bridge on Tuesday and signed a new bill at the top of the south tower.
To reach the top, Newsom climbed up one of the bridge's thick steel cables. He then signed the legislation at that high point above San Francisco Bay.
Newsom has climbed the bridge before. When he was lieutenant governor, he made a similar climb, but that event was kept private. He mentioned it publicly for the first time on Tuesday.
