Alain Robert climbs 38-storey building with no harness to ‘tell Macron to come back down to earth’

A free climber known as the “French Spiderman” scaled a 38-storey skyscraper in Paris on Wednesday to demonstrate his support for protesters angry about a pension law that will delay the age at which people can retire in France.

Alain Robert, 60, climbs without a harness, using only his bare hands and a pair of climbing shoes.
