French 'Spiderman' Returns to Scale Chinese Mountain
French 'spiderman' Alain Robert climbs the 1,518-meter-high Tianmen Mountain in the scenic area of Zhangjiajie, Central China's Hunan Province on November 18, as part of his latest stunt after illegally scaling a Shanghai skyscraper earlier this year. Robert, who arrived Hunan on Wednesday, is well-known for his exploits. In 1996, he climbed the Far East Finance Center in Hong Kong. According to media reports, it took him only 25 minutes to scale the tower's 48 stories. In 1998, he annoyed Japanese police by climbing the Sinjuku Center Building in Tokyo. The following year, he climbed the 443-meter high Sears Tower in Chicago. It is said that he has been arrested and fined more than 100 times for climbing buildings around the world. (Xinhua)
