In March 2024 as I was climbing the Gt tower in Makati Philippines that led me to a dead end 2m bellow the summit and that left me as the only possible option to down climb the entire building. A 438m round trip that took me 1h30 . #climbing #freesolo #challenge #adventure #adrenaline #mindset #resilience #climbinginspiration
In 2019 I had climbed the Gt tower in Makati Philippines until the dead end near the top and I had to down climb the entire building but with a big difference with March 2024 as now the main Crack that is running the building from bottom to top and that is solid as part of the structure has now been obstructed due to some leakage . #Climbing #freesolo #challenge #reslience #adventure #adrenaline #climbinginspiration #reslience
When my son @julien_robert_spiderson who is by the way an amazing athlete has insisted to climb with me an easy building although he has never climbed before on any surfaces . Then I have picked one of the easiest building I was knowing . The Torre Glories in Barcelona and we have climbed it both freesolo. An amazing experience we have shared together although I wasn’t really keen to do it at the beginning but since he had decided to go alone at leat I came with him and I had been able to give him a lot of tips all along the ascent . #climbing #freesolo #challenge #adventure #mindset #resilient #climbinginspiration #adrenaline
Arrested more than 150 times , jailed on numerous occasions , beaten up by the cops , chased by the authorities, baned , deported , blacklisted, convicted . Part of my CV for climbing freesolo and illegally some of the tallest buildings 👷♀️ all over the world . #climbing #freesolo #challenge #badass #resilience #adventure #climbinginspiration #freedom
as I had a sip already in a precarious way as not holding the building any longer to unscrew the lid of my bottle after drinking and as I was going to put it back it dropped on my belly but I managed to get it back . it shows the power of our mindset and focusness that is never to be underestimated and although I have climbed freesolo Totalenergies building on several occasions nothing is never fully acquired . However and eventhough I’m aging with by now heading 62 I’m still training on a regular basis and I’m keeping my body fit . #climbing #freesolo #mindset #challenge #masteringfear #resilience #adventure #climbinginspiration
Sunday is a family day with our usual Sunday brunch but it doesnt mean that because I have been on champagne that I forget to follow my life path . climbing is so much more than a sport but rather a way of living with his own life philosophy . #climbing #freesolo #lifepath #challenge #mindset #lifephilosophy #adventure #freespirit #bali
As I was climbing freesolo the 220m Gt tower in Makati I bumped my head on one of those aluminum slats and I lost my balance which nearly made me fall . #climbing #freesolo #challenge #adrenaline #adventure #mindset #masteringfear #resilience #climbinginspiration
Already two months since I had been confronted to this dangerous situation which I had to climb up and down the Gt tower in Makati Philippines after being stuck two meters below the summit and with as a sole option down climbing the entire building which in total made me climb 438m. #climbing #freesolo #challenge #adventure #adrenaline #reslience #climbinginspiration
At 61 years old climbing for my second time the tallest building in the world in November 2023 . The use of the rope was mandatory and I would say necessary. I have already climbed it in 2011 . #climbing #challenge #adventure #adrenaline #mindset #burjkhalifadubai #climbinginspiration
Courage over Comfort. I have always thought that this idea or concept was prevailing in my life and that’s the reason why I did chose to adopt it for my line of merchandise that you can find on my bio-link alainrobert.shop #climbing #freesolo #mindset #resilience #challenge #adventure #climbinginspiration #courageovercomfort
This video with @joerogan and @jimnorton is awesome . Looking forward to meet Joe in Dallas . There is so much to talk after this long career climbing freesolo for 50 years , being arrested more than 150 tines on all continents . Climbing freesolo in 1991 the 1st 5.13d in the climbing history. Climbing buildings in Dubai and abu dhabi several times in front of 100k people . Being treated harshly in jail and a week later eating with the king and the queen from Malaysia back in 1997 . #climbing #freesolo #challenge #adventure #mindset #climbinginspiration #masteringfear
Framatome is mostelikely the hardest and most dangerous urban ascent I have done . it took me five years deciding wether I was going to do it or not and on the day snd after 30m I have had a bad feeling that it was not going to work and I have decided to climb down but after less than one meter I have understand that I couldn’t. I had to fully refocus on to a fighter and I have decided that no matter I was going to make it alive and I have put all my strength into the battle . it was no longer a battle for a target but to live . I have encountered halfway through a major obstacle as the Crack was narrowing to a point that I nearly couldn’t any longer jaming the tip of my foot but I finally made it and after a battle that roughly last 45mn I was standing at the top of what im still considering as the hardest building I have ever climbed freesolo . it was in 1998 . On my specific scale of difficulties from 1 to 10 that I have created only for buildings its a 10 as if using the grade as we are using on rocks it would be be 8a . Once again it’s only a suggestion . Recently Adam Ondra has climbed a building top rope in Prague and it would be 8c/8c . There again it’s in my opinion difficult to use the same system as on rocks as so different as climbing a building is only repetitive and it is more an effort that is claiming a very good indurance for the hard ones . #climbing #freesolo #masteringfear #challenge #resilience #adventure #mindset #climbinginspiration
50 years or half century climbing freesolo worth to be celebrated. Wether it is on rocks such as the 1st 5.13d freesolo in the climbing history or on buildings with not less than 200 buildings with amongst the the Sears tower or Framatome but also the burj khalifa at 61 years old . #Climbing #freesolo #challenge #mindset #reslience #adventure #climbinginspiration #escalada
Climbing on my way down the 218m Gt international tower in Makati Philippines after I have reached a dead end two meters below the summit and as a only option down climbing the entire building that is rather unsafe due to those aluminum slats only stapled on the surface of the building and that are barely holding my weight as existing only on a decorative purpose but nevertheless for tracking a body . #climbing #freesolo #challenge #adventure #mindset #adrenaline #resilience #climbinginspiration
This very moment when you are leaving the horizontal thst is somehow symbolizing life and suddenly you are confronted with a 300m vertical is rather drastic . All the more at 60 years old and after a 22 years interruption without climbing on rocks . #climbing #freesolo #Rockclimbing #challenge #adventure #adrenaline #masteringfear #climbinginspiration
Passing those big overhangs are sometimes a bit complicated as there is 19 all along the 152m climb of the Alto building in la defense and some are bigger than others . However my span was sufficient for all of them although it was always a question I had on my mind . #climbing #freesolo #challenge #mindset #adrenaline #adventure #escalada #climbinginspiration
Playing cat and mouse with the security of the building. It’s quite funny watching it in pictures and when it happened I was so focused on escaping that I didn’t have time to look down but more like pulling my body in a hurry to get sure that they couldn’t be able to grab my ankles . By now I’m use to it . Arrested more than 150 times and 60 different countries is quite an impressive CV . #climbing #freesolo #challenge #badass #mindset #reslience #climbinginspiration #adrenaline
@joerogan and @jimnorton looks rather appreciative about the things I have been doing freesolo wether it is on rocks or on buildings and for already half century which is a really long professional career . #climbing #freesolo #challenge #mindset #badass #joerogan #joeroganpodcast #climbinginspiration
My life time philosophy in few words. Climbing freesolo the 166m silver tower in Frankfurt wearing only my cowboy boots and my silver snakes outfit . You will have to scratch your head a bit more than just only seeing it at the first degree as there is a lot more behind it . I’m open to the dialog and you can also write me on DM for further explanations. #climbing #freesolo #badass #reslience #challenge #adventure #adrenaline #climbinginspiration
Two months ago as I was on my way up to the 220m Gt international tower in Makati Philippines with as a surprise a dead end two meters below the top which I had to down climb the entire building . #climbing #freesolo #challenge #adventure #adrenaline #reslience #climbinginspiration #escalada
Without any doubt climbing freesolo Pol pot 5.13a slab in Verdon with a crux 250m above the ground that is extremely random has been a cornerstone in my freesoloing climbing career that I ended up with Pol pot in 1996 as I had been as far as I could go . I had climbed priorly and freesolo 15 routes in between 5.13b up to 5.13d and I knew that I was playing far too much with my life and it is when I have decided to shift on to buildings as much safer and far less random and discovering a brand new field which I could still express myself freesolo but with a lot more garanties to make it alive . #climbing #freesolo #masteringfear #mindset #challenge #adrenaline #climbinginspiration #rockclimbing
On my climbing wall at home pretty much everyday repeating some laps on and on . The price to pay to keep my body fit for my next adventure climbing freesolo around the world . #climbing #challenge #mindset #bodyfit #strenght #climbinginspiration #escalade #mentalfitness
