Bystanders and
police watched as the 54-year-old climbed up and then descended
the Torre Agbar, a glass-covered office building known for its
night-time illuminations, completing the feat in around one
hour.
The urban climber is famous for his daredevil, harness-free
approach to scuttling up buildings with nothing more than some
chalk on his hands and climbing shoes on his feet.
Robert has conquered over 100 structures worldwide including San
Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, Dubai's Burj Khalifa complex,
the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Sydney Opera House without
safety equipment.
