The fight too many for Spider-Man? The one who flips him to the dark side? Alain Robert, nicknamed the “French Spider-Man”, showed his opposition to the sanitary pass on Tuesday by climbing the Total Coupole tower in La Défense (Hauts-de-Seine) with his bare hands, simply using “straps” around fingers.
“It’s an ascent against the health pass, which annoys everyone. It is an attack on fundamental freedoms, this pass is a shame ”, declared Alain Robert before his departure. After a little more than an hour of ascent and without equipment, the climber of nearly 60 years was arrested and taken into custody at midday for “endangering the lives of others”, a noted an AFP journalist. Usually alone, this specialist in urban mountaineering was accompanied for the first time by three young climbers aged 21, 28 and 33.
In March 2020, he climbed to the top of the Agbar Tower in Barcelona to protest against the “fear” generated by the coronavirus.
