56-yr-old man climbs 754-ft tower in London with no rope, arrested
France's 56-year-old free climber Alain Robert, dubbed the French Spiderman, scaled the 754-foot-high, 46-storey Heron Tower in London without any rope in less than an hour. Robert, who claims he suffers from vertigo, said that he was very nervous ahead of climbing the tower. He was later arrested by police for "causing a public nuisance".
