French man climbs 29-story hotel without ropes
A 55-year-old French climber has scaled one of the tallest skyscrapers in Barcelona without a harness.
Alain Robert, known as the “French Spiderman,” climbed up the Melia Barcelona Sky hotel, as bystanders and police watched him. The building, which is covered by glass and steel, is known as the fourth tallest tower in the city.
It took him 20 minutes to climb the hotel, which stands 116 meters tall. Robert was questioned by the police on reaching the top, but he was released without charge.
The urban climber is famous for his daredevil, harness-free approach to scuttling up buildings with nothing more than some chalk on his hands and climbing shoes on his feet.
