Overcoming vertigo - and countless injuries - the 'Human Spider' has scaled more than 100 skyscrapers worldwide: from Taipei 101 to Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, from the Petronas Towers to the Golden Gate Bridge. Reward and punishment have been received in equal measure - the flamboyant Frenchman has gained international fame and raised thousands of dollars for charity, but has also been arrested, beaten and prosecuted. While many think it is madness to undertake such perilous ascents without the use of safety equipment, in Alain's view, it is madness not to follow one’s dreams! With Bare Hands is the inspiring story of a man who has conquered fear and exceeded his limits: the world's greatest urban free solo climber.
