Alain Robert sneaked past security early Tuesday to climb to the top of Tower 2 of the landmark buildings in Kuala Lumpur before he was detained, said city police chief Muhammad Sabtu Osman. Robert has already tried to climb Malaysia's Twin Towers twice but only reached the 60th floor both times before he was arrested. His last attempt was in 2007. The 47-year-old has climbed more than 70 skyscrapers worldwide, including the Empire State Building, the Sears Tower and Taipei 101, according to his website.'Spiderman' held after Malaysia Twin Towers climb Posted 19m ago | Comment | Recommend
