Alain Robert, the French climber known as Spiderman for his amazing feats has climbed one of the world's tallest buildings, in Malaysia, on his third attempt. It took Alain Robert, 47, just over two hours to complete his ascent of the 88-storey Tower Two of the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. Alain has scaled many of the tallest buildings, using no safety equipment. He began his climb of the 452m (1,483ft) tower before dawn, after apparently eluding security, and reached the top by 0730 local time.
