Born August 7, 1962 in Digoin in Saône-et-Loire, Alain Robert spent his childhood in Valence in Drôme. As a teenager, he admired the exploits of the great contemporary mountaineers (Bonatti, Messner...) and practiced climbing on the cliffs of Vercors and Ardèche. From that time on, he integrated full soloing into his climbing practice, identical to the progressions undertaken in mountaineering. Over the years, he progressed in sport climbing and in full solo, and reached level 8 in the years 1990-1992.

He realizes in particular in integral solo; La Nuit du Lézard (8a+) at Buoux in 1991 with several random movements, then considered by Alexander Huber as one of the most difficult solos in the world, and the 8b sequence at Cornas de l'Abominafreux (8a), the Abomifreux (7c) and the Abominable Finger Man (7b+)2. He was also very noticed in 1996 for the integral solo of Pol Pot (7c/8a) in the Verdon, a "morpho" route with small grips and grips, 250 meters above the ground, considered "one of the most audacious in history". In 1982, he suffered two accidents. The most serious, a fall of fifteen meters head first, during an abseiling, because of a poorly made knot, earned him six days of coma and multiple fractures to the skull, nose, wrists, elbow, pelvis and heels. A year later, however, he is climbing again. He nevertheless keeps many after-effects of this accident. From 1994, Alain Robert devoted himself to climbing buildings in full solo, that is to say the ascent of skyscrapers without no rope. His ascents are highly publicized and he becomes known to the general public. At a height of 180 meters, the Citigroup Center in Chicago will be the first of a long series of more than 170 buildings that Alain Robert will climb.

Legend of the Spider-Man
Self
Alain Robert - aka the “French Spiderman” – climbs all kind of skyscraper (to the great joy of the public and the despair of the police) with a weakness for the highest ones like the Sears Towers in Chicago, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur or Taipei 101 in Taiwan. With his short frame and at almost 50, Alain is a physical phenomenon capable of hoisting his body with only one finger despite a major disability due to a fall in 1982. Paradoxically, it is after that accident that he developed his style of climbing using only his bare hands and without any security. Today, with more than 100 towers climbed, as many arrests and several stays in prison, Alain is a legend. But who’s the man behind the climber? What motivates him? Find out in this portrait full of breathtaking footage.
