A base jumper who became stuck on the side of an Auckland hotel by his parachute has appeared in court.
Ilies Nait El Cadi, a 22-year-old from Belgium, is alleged to have jumped from a hotel on Albert St and the partially built Seascape skyscraper downtown.
He faces two charges of burglary.
Appearing at the Auckland District Court on Tuesday, he did not enter a plea.
Judge Nicola Mathers remanded him on bail after granting a two-day adjournment for him to take part in mediation.
He did not seek name suppression.
In the meantime, he was on a nighttime curfew and not allowed to post on social media or possess parachute equipment.
Police earlier claimed Nait El Cadi's rescue, which involved smashing a large window, caused more than $20,000 in damage.
