A Frenchman, who has earnt the name Spiderman because of his habit of scaling tall buildings, has completed another feat.

Alain Robert has climbed a 110-metre-high building in the Indonesian capital Jakarta.


He took just 30 minutes to clamber up the 25-storey structure using only chalk powder and metal hooks.

The 41-year-old said his biggest problem was coping with the heat which left him dehydrated.

He said: "Today there was no wind, so it was very hot.

" I had some problems because I was completely dehydrated and muscles do not work as well when it's very hot."

Robert has climbed more than 70 structures around the world often using little more than his hands.

They include the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and Hong Kong's Far East Finance Centre.

He is regularly arrested and fined for his daredevil antics.
