Havana - The French “Spider-Man” continues to dazzle Havana with his unassisted, death-defying climbs.
Alain Robert already climbed the 216m-high Habana Libre hotel on Monday.
On Tuesday, it was an elementary school in colonial Old Havana that made up in difficulty what it lacked in height.
The 50-year-old Robert took 15 minutes to ascend the three stories of the graceful stone building, which offered little in the way of hand- and foot-holds. Tourists and schoolchildren gasped and shouted words of encouragement.
Several youngsters then tried to imitate the French daredevil, but were unable to climb more than a few feet before losing their grip.
