The Human Spider returns to London
The daring French climber Alain Robert has climbed more than 80 of the world’s highest skyscrapers, and he’s brought his terrifying sport to London again. After reaching the top of Westminster’s tallest building, ‘Spiderman’ was arrested by police. This time he was lucky because he didn’t have to go to prison.
However, things haven’t always been so easy. In China, Alain had to spend five days in prison after climbing the Jing Mao tower without permission. Since ‘urban climbing’ is generally illegal, Alain usually has to run past the security guards before he can start his adventures. Then he can’t rest until he reaches the top. Sometimes, though. Alain is invited to do a stunt, so he doesn’t always have to avoid the police. In 2003 he was asked to climb a 95-metre tower in London to promote the third Spiderman movie.
How did Alain become the Human Spider?
As a boy, he was scared of heights but he decided to overcome his phobia, and started rock-climbing with the Scouts. When he was 12 he forgot his house keys, and he had to climb eight storeys to get in through the window.
By his mid-20s, Alain could climb mountains without ropes. Then, a film-maker said Alain should try climbing buildings. So, in 1994. he climbed Chicago’s highest skyscraper and the superhuman sport of urban climbing was born.
But Spiderman isn’t invincible, and Alain has fallen seven times. He’s broken his wrists, elbows, pelvis, nose and skull. But, despite everything, he firmly believes that people shouldn’t give up. Can we all overcome our fears like this? Maybe. But even so, you mustn’t try this at home!
