Spiderman Arrested for Scaling Skyscraper in Sydney
August 31st, 2010 - 2:55 am ICT by Angela Kaye MasonAug 30 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Spiderman, who was arrested last year and fined 750 Australian dollars for climbing the Royal Bank of Scotland, a forty one story building which is located in Sydney, Australia, is at it again as he was once again arrested in Sydney, this time for scaling another building, this one fifty seven stories high.
“Spiderman”, as he has been dubbed, climbs these buildings with no safety net, no harness, and no ropes, but simply scaled the fifty seven story building in twenty minute’s time, with no tools at all. His real identity is French skyscraper climber with the name of Alain Robert, and gained the nickname “Spiderman” after publicly scaling so many tall buildings and skyscrapers with nothing but his bare hands, which he is sure to keep dry with talcum powder, and footware which will help grip the building.
His publicity agent, Max Markson stated, “He’s the best at what he does. I’m sad he’s been arrested but hopefully he’ll get out soon and we can have some champagne.” “Spidey” is said to have started this terrifying hobby when he was twelve years old, and had to climb eight stories to get into his apartment after he accidentally locked himself out of the building where he lived.
