The Dubai Expat Diaries

Photos of Alain Robert a.k.a Spiderman, as he climbs a tower in Abu Dhabi (656 feet tall), as a crowd of about 100,000 spectators watch on. While other famous urban climbers sometimes used clamps or suction cups, Robert uses no tools or safety devices of any kind. Using only his bare hands and climbing shoes, Robert has scaled more than 70 giant structures around the globe including many of the world’s tallest structures.
