Sharjah24 - Reuters: Alain Robert, the free climber dubbed the "French Spiderman", scaled one of Barcelona's highest skyscrapers on Saturday without a harness. And for the first time ever, the famous daredevil was joined by his son.
"This time is different. My son is not a climber so I feel responsible somehow," Robert told Reuters while preparing for the climb. "I know he's a big boy, 34. It's his own decision, but at the end of the day I am his dad."
Bystanders and Spanish police watched as the 60-year-old and his son, Julien, climbed the 144-metre Torre Glories, formerly the Torre Agbar, a glass-covered office building designed by architect Jean Nouvel and famed for its night-time illuminations.
"I feel very stressed. I've never been so scared in my life," Julien told Reuters just before they started.
"I've done scary things in life, but this is... I've never been so afraid for my life. Fortunately, I have my father who will talk to me, will guide me."
