Alain Robert spent his youth on the unforgiving cliffs of southern France, climbing with his bare hands, with no ropes for protection. In 1982 he fell head-first onto solid rock, suffering a five-day coma and multiple fractures. He was told he would never climb again. But this didn't stop him. In 1994, he climbed his first skyscraper, in Chicago ? and the 'Human Spider' was born. Warning: this gripping autobiography may induce serious vertigo. Overcoming vertigo and countless injuries which have left him officially disabled, the Human Spider has scaled nearly 100 skyscrapers worldwide. This is the inspiring story of a man who has conquered fear and exceeded his own limits. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
