Snail on the Wall

I found this snail crawling up I beam by the train station a while back. I found it interesting because I have 1. Never actually seen a snail like that before and 2. Didn't realize snails could crawl that far up a wall or beam. This snail was a little bit above my head and I am 5'9". So lets say he was about 6 and a half feet or so up the beam. I felt compelled to take a picture for posterity :-)
