Daredevil climber
Spider-Man scaling skyscrapers is the stuff
of superhero stories. But one Frenchman has
brought comic strips to life with a series of
incredible climbs. His amazing antics have led
to both awards and arrests around the world.
Alain Robert
has spent so
long as a free
climber, he can
no longer fully
straighten his
fingers.
Free solo climber Alain Robert is seen here on
his way up the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority
(ADIA) Building, United Arab Emirates, in 2007.
The skyscraper is 607 ft (185 m) high.
