French Spiderman at Abu Dhabi

He lived in ABU DHABI (the skyscraper capital city of UAE...and the richest emirate of the GULF) for several years. I know ADIA is a tall building right on the Corniche)

Feb 23, 2007: French climber Alain Robert , aka the French Spiderman took on Abu Dhabi `s tallest building in front of a crowd numbering the tens of thousands without any safety mechanisms in place. Alain Robert completed the climb in only 20 minutes!!!!!

The audience cringed and cheered in fear and amazement as Robert scaled the 185 meters of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority building.

Alain Robert has also climbed the Sears Tower in Chicago, Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Eiffel Tower in Paris and Empire State Building in New York City.
