French spiderman raises awareness of dangers of climbing

A week or so ago, Alain Robert, the so-called French Spiderman scaled the exterior The Four Seasons on Hong Kong island to “raise awareness of the dangers of climate change.”

He is known to climb up skyscrapers using only his hands and feet.

Frankly I think he has succeeded only in raising awareness of the dangers of climbing. Though not the tallest hotel in Hong Kong, the gaps between the slabs are really quite something.

  2. Forgive my cynicism. I just don’t understand how one can pretend that the reason why his story is newsworthy is because his climb is a feat of human endurance, not the changing climate.
