French Daredevil Climbs World’s Tallest Building

I guess everybody might admit to at least one phobia. Mine would be a fear of heights. My palms are sweating just relating this story.

A French daredevil, Alain Robert, climbed the world's tallest building yesterday (3/28). The Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai is 2,717 feet tall. Robert took just over 6 hours to reach the top of the spire. Yeah....he climbed the sloping "steeple" stretching above the habitable area of the building. (Give me a moment here to dry off my hands)

This is not his first rodeo. Alain Robert has also climbed more than 70 other skyscrapers including the Empire State Building and the Sears Tower. You can see more on the story here at aolnews.com.
