French Spiderman climbs skyscraper: Extreme urban climber Alain Robert scales Dubai’s Cayan Tower

A French free-climber has completed his latest daredevil stunt by scaling one of Dubai’s tallest skyscrapers, the Emirates Cayan Tower, in the heart of the city-state’s luxurious marina district.
Alain Robert, 52, dubbed the real-life ‘Spiderman’, has made a career for himself setting astonishing world records.
Robert completed the 1,007-foot climb in just 70 minutes on Sunday, according to the Associated Press.
Monsieur Spiderman used no safety harness, just tape and chalk, and had little leg room as he made his way up the twisting structure.
Robert is no stranger to scaling tall buildings. Sunday’s ascent was his 85th building climb in just 14 years.
In 2011, he climbed the nearby Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower, this time using a rope and harness in order to comply with requirements set out by an organizer. It took him just over six hours to scale the 2,717-foot-tall building, according to a New York Post report.
Despite claiming to suffer from vertigo, Robert says his obsession with climbing has left him partially disabled, the Daily Mail reports.
Robert says he believes that pushing limits and constantly aiming higher is how we can all develop stronger mindsets.

[@simplyjustkd]

The narration on this is a snooze fest.

[@jerryaprian1049]

how could that pants fit his balls size

[@pluto9249]

Amazing

[@smokingbrush2498]

Reassuring to see just how much more impressive Robert's achievement looks in comparison to the feeble 'comic' inserts in this report. When a news desk has access to real footage like that, why even bother with the pathetic gaming graphix?

[@kyledznlol]

my hands are sweaty

[@MH-up1xe]

I'd expect him to be more muscular.

[@Legowill105]

Omg mom grab the camera

[@jhalynmanupsup8857]

[@raggedallen6256]

[@matheusgilbert3945]

watching videos about 9/11, seeing people jumping the towers, I wonder if Alain could have climbed down the towers... What you guys think ?

[@Jocosoman]

it took you seven years to get a reply but here you go. He couldn't, not every building is possible to be climbed, like you need something that you can grab

[@irololl]

unfuckinbelievable.

[@Rjknight65]

This isnt the first time that someone did something like this.

[@antlemec]

but he did it more than 150 times :)

[@Carboncluster]

HE HAS VERTIGO? I DON'T BELIEVE THAT! You can't even move anymore when you have that and are at such heights.

[@niinuetey9878]

yes. you need to understand what he is trying to say. mike Tyson used to say same. that he was always afraid until he enters the ring

[@TOP10ReloadedTIME]

sino nakapanuod dito sa kanya sa pinas.. na siyay dinakip dahil daw public disturbance

[@chronic_femaledog_face]

Sounds like a challenge to scm

[@wenqingchong8601]

[@A-NARA]

[@MrJOHNY347]

[@jordanzlotolow8254]

[@TrapHouzefilmz]

[@oilylampman7252]

a strong grip and no fear at all.

[@NuclearGrizzly]

He never intended to climb the tower. Someone dropped a bar of soap an he was just trying to get away :-)

[@TheLflanagan]

NuclearGrizzly lol

[@supraludwick83]

"that's cute" -Alex Honnold

[@Julesgio]

To be fair he's not 50+ years old.

[@DrRemuss]

??????? That comment though, so laughable ^^

[@harshlens]

There is no way he's afraid of hights.

[@niinuetey9878]

he compresses the 3d space into a 2d plane and brings the 2d plane close to himself thereby fooling himself that he is really in no danger at all but rather it is all about the execution of his movement flawlessly

[@magicwrap]

God save him

[@quochung9597]

Legend

[@AsharGill-bt9zl]

This Video Is Very Nice.Ok.Ashar

[@forwardobserver2048]

Did it say 52 years old? Think so.

[@Italiasiangamer]

Yeah lets climb a big ass building for no reason and risk falling off and dying.

[@Italiasiangamer]

Afeeq Hasan OOOHHHHH climbing a tower because noone has done it before. This isn't like climbing mount Everest, it is not even the tallest building in the world. Also thanks for telling me what you do all day i really needed to hear that. I wonder who Nicki Ninja is? Is she famous in your country? I didn't know she had a penis.

[@afeeqhasan6621]

*Nicki minaj

[@afeeqhasan6621]

Also this tower is a curved tower and this man (a 52 year old) managed to climb it without any cables etc!!!!

[@afeeqhasan6621]

Italiasian Gamer Heck yeah, I where I live all the old age horny bastards luv her

[@Italiasiangamer]

Afeeq Hasan Still doing that without any safety precautions is stupid. If the wind became really strong he could have easily lost his grip and fell to his death. He reminds me of those idiots that do hand stands on top of huge buildings.

[@BryanJTV]

Tapos dito sa Pilipinas hinuli sya where infact wala naman syang kasalanan . Only here in the Philippines .

[@robbierickenbacher3558]

You're not the real spider man, right?

[@stonewall97]

Spiderman can never be French. The French surrenders when fighting bad guys. Lol

[@olivierbourlon3363]

KARL MARX People like spouting bullshit in their own ignorance, you gotta get used to it ;-) Btw, among the 3500+ estimated kinds of cheese in France, I'm sure you'll find some to make your soft balls cry pokezee king-wolf .

[@TheSylvestre111]

+Hinz Zimmler however Human Spiderman is French :')

[@stonewall97]

SkYe Lazy Nope, just a realist. Spider man is brave and will not back down from evil. Unlike Frenchmen who surrender and kiss up to anyone who bullies them into submission.

[@stonewall97]

wirKO Yes, they have such a good record in WW2. lol RETREAT, RETREAT. WE SURRENDER is all they did in WW2.

[@olivierbourlon3363]
