Free solo climber Alain Robert has scaled a 48-storey building in Paris for his 60th birthday.
Robert, dubbed the ‘French Spiderman’, climbed the 187-metre Tour TotalEnergies building on Saturday.
He climbed without a harness, using only his bare hands, a pair of climbing shoes, and a bag of powdered chalk to wipe off the sweat. ‘I promised myself several years ago that when I reached 60, I would climb that tower again because 60 symbolises retirement age in France and I thought that was a nice touch.’Robert added he wanted to use the climb to raise awareness about the need for climate change action.
