Alain Robert has scaled 85 giant structures around the globe including many of the world's tallest structures, most of which he has scaled using only his bare hands and climbing shoes. Because authorities will not normally give him permission for such dangerous exploits, Robert usually appears, at dawn, on the side of whichever giant skyscraper he has chosen to climb. His exploits attract crowds of onlookers who stop to watch him climb. As a consequence, Alain has been arrested many times, in various countries, by law enforcement officials waiting for him at the end of his climb. The arrests and trials are normally little more than brief formalities and he has always been discharged. Robert's physical conditioning and expert climbing technique allow him to climb using the small protrusions of building walls and windows. Robert is fucking nutty in my book, the best part is he get arrested at the top of every climb. But you'd have to think if the guy is climbing a skyscrapper bare-handed I doubt he cares about getting arrested...
