Alain Robert, a France who has scored many of the highest buildings in the world, set a new goal for himself last month when he was 60 years old. On Saturday, “Spiderman France” and free Solo climbers reached their destination by climbing the 48th Floor Building in Paris.
Robert climbed the 613 foot tours building while wearing red clothes and raised his hand as he reached the top. According to Defense 92, he reached the peak in only 60 minutes.

“I want to send people to order that being 60 is not anything. You can still do sports, active, doing extraordinary things,” he said. “I promised myself a few years ago that when I reached 60, I would climb the tower again because 60 symbolized retirement age in France and I thought it was a good touch.”

But this is not the first time Robert has been on the tower tour tower. He has done so many times to increase public awareness of climate actions.

Mr. Robert is famous all over the world to improve tall buildings. His brave achievements include climbing to the top of Burj Khalifa from Dubai, the highest structure in the world.

But Robert often disburses structures without the necessary authorization, and he has been detained on several occasions in various countries, including Britain and Germany.

In addition, because he climbed alone, he did it without harness, only using his hands, climbing shoes, and a bag of lime powder to soak sweat.

He has conquered more than 100 structures around the world, including the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the iconic Petronas twin towers in Malaysia, and the Sydney Opera House without safety equipment.
