BARCELONA — An urban stunt climber known as the 'French Spiderman' for his daring ascents conquered another landmark by scaling a 166-meter (381-foot) Barcelona skyscraper on Friday in a bid to raise awareness about climate change and drought. Sixty-year-old Alain Robert crawled up the exterior of the glass and steel-covered Melia Barcelona Sky Hotel, the Spanish city's fourth-tallest building, with just a bag of powdered chalk and climbing shoes to aid his ascent. 'I would like to pass on a message on climate change and the problem of soil dehydration in Spain [for it] to be resolved quickly' by the government, he said after reaching the rooftop.
