Spidey strength: Alain Robert, who is known as Spider-Man, scales the National Library of France in Paris

Like the nimble superhero, he scales skyscrapers with dazzling agility, with just his hands and legs to support him.

And now the man they call Spider-Man has turned his attention to the National Library of France.

Alain Robert, who is French, climbed to the top of the 24-storey
building in Paris as police and bystanders gazed up from the ground.

Tackling the feat for environmental group One Voice, he even managed
to hang a protest banner on the side of the tower as he darted upwards.

Mr Robert, 46, began climbing buildings at the age of 12, when he
was locked out of his eighth floor flat and was forced to scale the
exterior wall to get in.

He has since scaled 85 huge structures around the globe, including some of the world's tallest buildings.

At 5ft 5in, he is short and light, which helps with his climbing. He also sometimes uses a bag of chalk powder to absorb sweat.

He suffered two serious accidents in 1982 - including a head-first 15
metre fall which left him in a coma for five days and with multiple
fractures.

The married father-of-three rarely has permission from the authorities
to attempt his dangerous exploits, so he has been arrested many times
at the end of his climb.
