ALAIN ROBERTS A.K.A. SPIDERMAN FINALLY TOPS PETRONAS TWIN TOWERS

French Climber Alain Roberts a.k.a Spiderman finally completes and accomplishes Petronas Twin Towers in our city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. His first attempt was in March 20, 1997 in which law enforcement stopped him at the 60th floor where there's a ledge for him to get inside easily and he did. 10 Years later on the same date 20th March, 2007 Alain Roberts second attempt to climb KLCC had come to an end again when law enforcements got tipped off and again stopped him on the 60th floor. By then I was wondering when will he be coming back and hope I'd be ready to catch a glimpse of him as I am a huge fan.

But this time he surprised everyone. Sneeky Alain Roberts came to Kuala Lumpur again and on the 1st of September, 2009 he begun his climb at around 5 something in the morning. Because he started climbing so early it was dark and managed to climb most of the way unnoticed. And there the man who failed twice to climb our twin towers finally achieved his Dream. Climbing and finishing KLCC was Alain Roberts Dream for many years. I didn't think he would climb right to the very top where the small ball is. Its crazy! Its funny how we all see the Malaysian Special Forces come in a chopper to get him at the top with all the best safety equipment in the world and there you see Alain Roberts standing right at the top of the ball with his hands in the air and without any safety waving our Malaysian Flag.. Unbelivable :D
