Look Out! Here Comes the Spiderman


Wednesday, April 16, 2008

alainrobertclimbsfourseasons416.jpgSome crazy Frenchman was seen climbing up the 59th floor at Hong Kong's Four Seasons hotel yesterday. Ok, so he's not exactly just any senile Spiderman-wannabe. In fact, he's Alain Robert, a renowned environmentalist with phenomenal building scaling skills and a penchant for risk-taking. He's completed more than 80 climbs in hopes of raising eco-awareness -- he also likes candle-lit macrobiotic meals and measuring his carbon footprint every night before hitting the hay. Video of the awe-inspiring climb after the jump. [via]
