French climber Alain Robert aka “The French Spiderman” amazed a crowd of onlookers in Dubai yesterday as he scaled one of the city’s tallest skyscrapers, the Cayan Tower, using only sticky tape on his fingers and chalk for guidance.

The 52-year-old man, who has climbed many other landmark buildings around the world including the Burj Khalifa, completed the 75-floor climb in just 70 minutes.
