"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. Alain Robert became to be engaged in rock-climbing since he was 12. His interest for building-climbing started in 1994. Source: www.fr.news.yahoo.com |

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 :) Source: https://www.moonclimbing.com |

Cervin (Matterhorn), 4478ì, - one of the most beautiful Alpine mountains.

The end to disputes. The body found this summer on Nanga Parbat belongs to Gunther Messner indeed On September 4, Reinhold Messner held a press conference in Islamabad, Pakistan, where he declared that DNA tests confirmed that the body had found last month in the lower part of on the Diamir Face of Nanga Parbat this summer belonged to his brother indeed. That rebuts the endless accusations against Reinhold Messner that in 1970 he ostensibly committed a crime: left his brother to die to please his climbing ambitions. |
UIAA-ICC Climbing Worldcup (Lead) in Valence, France, 27.-29.10.2005 Eiter and Verhoeven get on the first step of the podium. In Valence the results of a penultimate World Cup Lead stage are given out. Angela Eiter becomes the winner of Big Cup ahead of schedule. Preliminary Maja Vidmar, Slovenia, is the second, Caroline Ciavaldini, France, - the third. The Final stage of World Cup will run in Kranj, Slovenia, in three weeks. The Italian Flavio Krespi is enough to reach the final to win the Big Cup. Igor Gusak comments: In Valence all of us made a poor showing. Only Katya climbed better and became the tenth. It seems she will run into depression soon because of her tenth places.
It was something for us to reach Valence on time! All of us were pottering about the engine since 9 am till 5 pm and finally it made us capitulate, we called a recovery vehicle to get our car to service and jumped into a train that arrived in Valence at 2 am. Taking into account that the isolation zone was closed at 8 am..... I was the strongest of four climbers failed to get into the semi-final. The others became beaten-down later… What was further I do not remember (probably it's an influence of weariness).... Results of finalists:
