The True Story of Alain Robert – The Human Spider
Alain Robert, a.k.a. The Human Spider has solo climbed (no ropes harnesses
etc) the world’s tallest and most iconic buildings among them the Jin Mao
tower in Shabghai, the Debis Tower in Berlin, the Petronas Towers in Kuala
Lumpur and the Sears Tower in Chicago. The author began climbing in his early
teens and has climbed up to F8a on rock but now concentrates almost entirely
on climbing tall structures; he was also the subject of a popular documentary
called No Limits sown on British television earlier this year.
