Real sweet pictorial on Yahoo about Alain Roberts, builder. Roberts has climbed many of the worlds most significant buildings. Impressive resume and still has the skillz as he's aged. Good pics.

Incredible and beautiful pics.
But I don't think he should have been climbing that obelisk--it's a historical artifact and he could have damaged it.

Robert is a very interesting guy. He free soloed 8a+ (13c) on rock years ago, and numerous other 12s and 13s, but he has made his living climbing buildings. I have a great video of him called "Cutting Edge -- The Human Spider." I remember reading a hot flash in the mags on him in the 90s after he had soloed a cable on the Golden Gate Bridge. He called it 12b, and said it was, "like being with zee beautiful woman." Too cool.
