French Spider-man – level 3

French Spider-man

29-07-2021 15:00

A head camera captured the urban climber, dubbed the French Spider-man, Alain Robert scaling the Melia Barcelona Sky hotel. He did not have any safety equipment, but just chalk on his hands and climbing shoes on his feet.

It took him 20 minutes to make it to the top of the 29-storey building, which is the fourth tallest in Barcelona. Upon reaching the top, police questioned him but released him without charge.

Difficult words: urban climber (a person who climbs in cities), dubbed (named), scale (climb up).
