Alain Robert, the world famous urban solo climber has just released his autobiography, With Bare Hands: the story of the Human Spider (published by Maverick House Publishers, £16.99). Also known as the French Spiderman, Robert’s biography will have you clutching at the pages, holding on and hardly daring to breathe, as Robert tells of clinging to giant buildings.

Alain Robert, the man known as the Human Spider, has climbed the world’s tallest buildings using just his bare hands. His terrifying brand of urban free climbing has taken him up some of the tallest buildings in the world. Among them the Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai, the Debis Tower in Berlin, the Petronas Tower in Kuala Lumpur, Taipei 101, the Sears Tower of Chicago, the Sydney Opera House and Canary Wharf in London. Robert was the subject of a documentary on Channel 4 entitled ‘The Human Spider’, which attracted more than 2.5 million viewers. His climbs have had audiences of over 100,000 people. With Bare Hands is the inspiring story of a man who conquered his fear of vertigo and overcame his physical disabilities in order to become the greatest climber the world has ever known.
