Alain Robert - Complete Legend

[Cheeky Monkey]

The word legend is often misused, but is woefully inadequate to describe this man. Classified by the medical profession as 66% disabled, he suffers from epilepsy, vertigo and once climbed a skyscraper with a broken thumb. The guy is a complete one off. I doubt anyone else could do, or would want to do what he does. Ladies and gentile hommes, je me vous presente Alain:

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

No ropes, safety equipment, nothing but a bag of chalk and a pair of climbing shoes.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

66% disable - 100% mental

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

How can you suffer from vertigo and do that ?

Respect to the bloke - but he can't have vertigo. People who have vertigo can't climb a ladder.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Agree with you Mumm, but he swears he does and, according to him has had several moments stuck frozen to the sides of skyscrapers unable to move. His technique is all about speed - just get up it before you have too much time to dwell on the demons.

Great feats i agree, but vertigo

There is no way he could do what he does if he'd suffer from vertigo.

 

[Mr Banana]

Why is it that any description of anyone as a "legend" has to begin with "the word legend is often overused"?

 

[Questions]

Bag of chalk you say ? ........ talk about making it easy for yourself.

 

[Gazwag]

he looks a bit like a girl

 

[Garage_Doors]

Green army !!!

sounds like a viz top tip

"add kudos to your subjective opinions on people you deem legendary by beginning with the phrase the word legend is often overused"

how can you be 66% disabled, you either are, or you're not, check the DDA!

 

[Mr Banana]

how can you be 66% disabled

Maybe he's just a bit of a spaz.

 

[Huple]

I hope the DHSS - or the Froggy equivalent of - see that picture and stop his invalidity benefits.

 

[British Bulldog]

Maybe he's just a bit of a spaz.

 

[Mr Banana]

sorry

This - I have vertigo and I can't even look at the photo in the OP for more than a couple of seconds without feeling a little ill
