ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) – Ever felt like rappelling down the side of a building just to say you did it? The Ecolab building in downtown St. Paul is giving people that chance on Friday, and it's for charity.

The money will also go towards camps, scholarships, uniforms and other resources for the Boy Scouts of America.

People who want to try rappelling can do so in downtown St. Paul starting at 9 a.m.
