BARCELONA - Alain Robert, the free climber dubbed the"French Spiderman", scaled one of Barcelona's highest skyscrapers on Saturday without a harness. And for the first time ever, the famous daredevil was joined by his son.
"I feel very stressed. I've never been so scared in my life," Julien told Reuters just before they started. The pair completed the climb in less than an hour and were met at the top by police, who escorted them down the more traditional way - inside the building - and did not arrest them. Alain Robert began climbing in 1975, training on the cliffs near his hometown of Valence in southern France.He took up solo climbing in 1977, since when he has climbed more than 150 buildings, including Dubai's Burj Khalifa - the world's tallest building - the Eiffel Tower, and San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge.
