- 9 years ago
In the still of the Arabian night, amid camera flashes and press, World renowned French climber Alain Robert, also known as 'Spiderman,' began his ascent of Dubai's Cayan Tower - the world's tallest twisted skyscraper – with only his climbing shoes and chalk. No harnesses or ropes were in sight as hundreds of spectators turned up to witness the 52 year-old free-climber scale the tower using no additional means except a small powder-filled pouch clipped to his waist to help keep his grip.
