Show Notes
Falling 20 metres into a coma world records and climbing the Burj Khalifa without ropes!
From one world record chaser in the last episode to someone who holds many!
Today’s guest, Alain Robert from France who now lives in Bali has spent FIFTY years free solo climbing…for those that don’t know what that is it’s climbing rocks and buildings with nothing but yourself, no support and no ropes!
His legacy as he says is on rocks but he has some phenomenal building climbs as well including the tallest building on the planet. He once fell 20m bust everything he has, displacing his wrist to this day and lost 45% of his blood, was in a coma and more. He’s even been declared 65% disabled.
This is a man who breaks boundaries and does it in style…oh and he’s been arrested about 125 times!
Bloody great guy!
Enjoy!
