The real Spiderman in Abu Dhabi
By dragonfly212 •
Check this out guys.. this man is total crazy yet wicked!!!!
French Alain Robert known as Spiderman climbs the facade of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority tower with his bare hands, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), on February 23, 2007, in front of a crowd of about 100,000. Alain Robert completed the climb in only 20 minutes. Alain Robert also climbed the Sears Tower in Chicago, Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Eiffel Tower in Paris and Empire State Building in New York City.
The French are Weirdo!! LOL.. joke.
wowwwwww.(i cant say a comment)too amazed
Im the one and only
There is another free-soloist named Michael Reardon (spelling unsure) who I think actually did solo El Capitan. or maybe he just did it w/ropes 2 times in one day, idk... Last wknd I was at El Potero Chico and read a newspaper clipping about a french guy that died on a soloing section of a route called "scarriest ride in the park" imagine that. They found his body near the statue of the Virgin Mary!?! Creepy right, fitting name fopr the route tho.
The "spiderman" is an interesting guy. He has to sneak onto his climbs, in Houston he was arrested before he got onto the transco tower. I have done some buildering but nothing like that. I would like to see him on a satural crack system!

This show is held every year in Abudhabi...
I have spent few years there..I have witnessed too...
Its real talent...!!
I think he is not insured...the insurance company rejected his application;)........
"Many people quit looking for work when they find a job"
LOL its touching pics!!!!!!!!
GG ....he is actually hanging on to the small edge of the Tiles / Aluminium sheets.
These guys can hang on to a ledge using only 1 finger.
Gosh !I cannot climb that tower on foot using the stairs!
Oh yeah, I actually witnessed this guy trying to scale the Petronas Twin Tower back in KL. But he was arrested before he could complete the climb. And I think he tried to do it again a few years later!
I don't think he's insane. Just an adrenaline junkie. I wonder if he's insured..... hmmmm....
How can he climb with bare hands on a flat surface? Hidden web somewhere..lol
he is one of those who lost their mind in there...
********************************************************* Blessed are the geeks, for they shall Internet the earth!
prediction everyone.... his death will be by falling and smashing against some concrete somewhere in the world someday soon. great guy though to be able to do this, but a bit of a loony.......
This guy is amazing. I think he could climb El Capitan. Some of the best free climbers in the world are French.
There is the woman (can't remember her name) who is truly amazing, free climbing reverse inclines on 1,000 meter rock faces.

just hanging out and watching dvd's with helen keller... kind of a quite night.
I would like for him to try climbing El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without ropes. 3000 feet (910 Meters) of Vertical rock foundation.
I think he'd freeze before he reached the top lol...but to climb with his bare hands....that's not easy man!
Stay safe.
Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
and he did climb 4 season (now Q-Tel Tower) and was legal...
as he had been caught in different countries for his feat...
WOW!!!That's amazing....
I can agree that practice can improve your performance, but it cannot make it perfect....perfection is an illusion...it does not exist...and the manner in which you practice make a HUGE difference!
Sorry to highjack Mila.
Stay safe.

You practice you can do man
This guy have talent...
The Venezuelan Sensation!!!
i think he's the same one that came here a few years ago
Virginity like bubble, once prick, all gone :)

See my signature below LOL
Seriously, there's ALWAYS room for improvement, and besides practising something wrong for instance only makes you better at doing it wrong...so that's why I hate the saying practice makes perfect lol
Stay safe.

It's amazing Practice makes man perfect
The guy's definetly gifted, but it scares me and I really hope one day a stunt doesn't go wrong and he falters....with so many people watching that would be so horrible!
Maybe its because i'm a dad now, but even IF I could, I would never do such a reckless thing...there are much safer ways to earn a living!
But since I can't, its a moot point lol.
Stay safe all.

Everybody is right and Everybody is wrong, its depend where you stand
Eventhough he may qualify for the medical definition of insane! LOL
Thanks for sharing Mila.
Stay safe.
