French Alain Robert, 44, known as Spiderman climbs Petronas Twin Towers with his bare hands, in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, on March 20, 2007. Alain Robert completed the climb in only 20 minutes. Alain Robert also climbed the Sears Tower in Chicago, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority tower in UAE, Eiffel Tower in Paris and Empire State Building in New York City.
However the Frenchman’s second attempt yesterday ended the way his first did in 1997 — with the authorities stopping him on the 60th floor.
Wearing a yellow shirt emblazoned with the words “Petronas Twin Tower 1 - 20th March 1997, Ten Years, Petronas Twin Tower 2 - 20th March 2007″, the daredevil, who climbed without any gear, started his ascent at Tower 2 at 3.05pm.
But a team of firemen and policemen finally stopped him and ordered him to re-enter the building through an opening on the 60th floor. He did not resist. Robert was handcuffed and escorted back to earth before he was taken away in a police car.
It was not immediately known if he would be charged with anything
Not the full height...but jeeze, 60 floors with no equipment.

Successful ones! If you fall and break your leg, it doesn't count.
What about if the police make me stop?
LOL!!
Half credit.
I guess the buildings are really childs play to him though considering this and this.
Damn, Solus beat me to it. :)
