00:00Frenchman Alain Robert, known around the world as the Spider-Man, for his passion for climbing

00:12buildings around the globe, was back in Dubai to climb the 309 meter Cayenne Tower, the

00:17tallest twisted tower in the world.

00:20The Spider-Man made headlines in 2011 when he scaled the world's tallest building, the

00:24Burj Khalifa.

00:26The difference this time is that he didn't use ropes or a harness in his latest attempt

00:30to master the Cayenne building.

00:32You know, once you start climbing, you know, voluntarily you are putting your life at risk.

00:38Then I guess, you know, your state of mind is completely different, you know, you are

00:43shifting a bit on the fighting mode and before it, you know, you got nothing to do just to

00:49think it's scary.

00:50Yeah, it's scary.

00:51Then once you are in, it feels like, you know, relief.

00:58The climb was not without its own unique challenges, as the building has very sharp edges and Robert

01:03himself, in a twist of irony, suffers from vertigo.

01:06With nothing but a spotlight to illuminate his progress, the Spider-Man made his way

01:10up the Cayenne building, stopping every now and then to wave and salute at the astonished

01:14onlookers far, far below.
