BBC News - 'Spiderman' scales Sydney skyscraper and is arrested again

Help

A French climber, known as 'Spiderman', is facing charges after scaling a 57-storey building in Australia.

Alain Robert was arrested by police when he reached the top of the building in Sydney without ropes or any other safety equipment.

He has climbed a number of the world's tallest buildings over the years and has been arrested almost as many times.

Ben Tornquist reports.

It seems apparent, given that he's climbing to deadly heights without safety gear, that arrests aren't gonna bother him very much. I don't care why he's doin' it, really. I wouldn't do it, I wouldn't recommend it, but if he's willing to risk his neck so be it. It's cool to watch, and I certainly can't hope he falls.
