The daredevil called it his most difficult climb yet, and said he spent weeks preparing before scaling the building.The skyscraper has been scaled by similarly foolhardy thrillseekers before. One climber tackled the building, also with no harness and using his bare hands, in September.In 2015, Alain Robert, nicknamed ‘Spider Man’ for his awe-inspiring climbs, also scaled the building. He carried a Nepalese flag while he completed the act in tribute to victims of a severe earthquake that hit the country.
