Spiderman scales Abu Dhabi's tallest building

Robert's only tool was a little pouch clipped to his waist and filled with powder to keep his hands from getting moist and losing grip.Robert hasn't stopped climbing despite the fact that he is partly medically disabled and has permanent vertigo, which are the results of a childhood...

Scaling any given section of that wall wouldn't be too difficult; note the width and depth of the cracks he's using. Plenty of room for the climber's hands and feet, and they're not spaced too far apart. It's essentially like climbing a ladder with the rungs further from each other.
The immensely impressive thing isn't the climbing itself, but the duration of the climbing. How his body can withstand the strain for the length of time it takes to climb a skyscraper is far beyond me.
