This guy is still living and there can be no question that he is one of the best free soloists the world has seen. Hardly ever mentioned here on Super Topo. I am a fan. Are you?

I have been following him for years. Great Facebook site but beware, you will need to have chalk handy and sometimes a barf bag may be in order. His history of solo ascents in unmatched and ongoing.......

A 55-year-old known as the “French Spider-Man” is once again making headlines for scaling a skyscraper in Paris. Robert Alain was arrested Wednesday afternoon, shortly after climbing the 587-foot-tall Total Tower office building in only 30 minutes, according to local police. The incident followed an attempt to scale a different high-rise in the same district that morning.

Marlow stole my thunder.
I’m guessing he likes cuffs anyway.

Wouldn't that be a slower rate/time than the supermen these days are storming the Nose?

This guy cracks me up. Personally I can't see how 600' of the same moves over and over
I don't know, Indian Creek is pretty popular . . .
People like him make the world a much more interesting place, without doing any (substantial) harm. Thumbs up.

Met him back in the mid 2000s, when he wanted to do the building where I was security manager at the time. Actually got the headshed to consider his request, but they weren't convinced. He went off & did the Cheung Kong Centre instead, with a global warming / climate change message IIRC. Seemed like a nice chap &, as said above, pleasantly weird with it.
