'French Spiderman' banned from climbing UK buildings after scaling London's tallest skyscraper. Here's why

French urban climber Alain Robert has been banned from climbing any building in UK after scaling one of London’s tallest skyscrapers without ropes — and without permission. Alain Robert climbed 662-foot (202-meter) Heron Tower in  City of London on Thursday, forcing police to set up a safety cordon and stop traffic in area.

Mr. Robert reached top of building in around 45 minutes, however, he was arrested immediately after that. When Mr. Robert was arrested at top of tower he immediately handed his passport and number of his lawyer to officers.  

He appeared in a London court on Friday where 56-year-old was sentenced to 20-week suspended sentence and ordered to pay £5,500 compensation to City of London Police after he pleed guilty to causing a public nuisance.
