French 'Spidey' Alain Robert to climb Singapore Flyer

French 'Spider-Man', Alain Robert, scaling one capsule of the Singapore Flyer during a media preview.

VISITORS to the Singapore Flyer on Friday will get a surprise view - of urban climber Alain Robert scaling the world's tallest observatory wheel.

At 6pm, the French 'Spider-Man', who has tackled more than 100 structures around the world without safety equipment in the past eight years, will become the first person to attempt to climb around the 471.3m circumference of the revolving wheel.

The climb will last 30min, as long as a ride on the 42-storey-high attraction.

The stunt is the highlight of the first Mettle Games, the largest extreme sports festival held here. LINK
