Does Whatever A Spider Can

Not to be done by kids!

A French skyscraper climber nicknamed 'Spiderman' was arrested yesterday after scaling a 41-storey building in downtown Sydney with his bare hands. About 200 people watched as Mr Alain Robert, known for scaling some of the world's tallest and most famous buildings without ropes or other equipment, climbed to the top of the Royal Bank of Scotland Tower. Police closed off a section of the street below, causing gridlock. The crowd cheered as Mr Robert reached the top. He then climbed back down, where officers arrested him. AP
