"Spiderman" is placed in detention in Chicago. It is not known who had informed the police.

A 43-years French Spiderman Alain Robert was arrested on Tuesday morning for an attempt of climbing the outside of One Houston Center, a 46-storeyed building in Houston, Texas.

"One of our guys managed to clap hold of his leg and to force him to descend", - Alvin Wright, the official representative of Houston police, informed the press.

Alain Robert, a French skyscraper climber, is charged with penetration into the forbidden zone and storage of drugs. Alvin Wright also specified that he did not know whether the Spiderman had a recipe for the Xanax found out at him (a distressing medication that alleviates anxious feeling).

"I do not know where these people found out that I am going to climb the Houston center, - Alain Robert told in interview to one of local telechannels, - I did not make a crime, I did not make a bad ting, " - he added.

The police had been warned, and six peace officers were waiting for the unwitting hero at the site.
"In Texas you have no right to climb on buildings without the special sanction. The proprietors did not want to see that".
"It is dangerous: even if it is your experiment, you can never know for certain, what will be the end of it", - the representative of police commented on the situation.

Alain Robert became to be engaged in rock-climbing since he was 12. His interest for building-climbing started in 1994.

BEN MOON cracks his new problem - Voyager, 8b

Ben Moon sent a new bouldering in Peak Grit and named it "Voyager" graded 8b or V13. He considers it "despite of a bit of a classic" the best bouldering he has ever climbed.

Jump start, just five moves, a month of working, excellent weather - that is the whole problem :)
