The "French Spider-man", Alain Robert, known for scaling the world's tallest buildings without harness or helmet, says he would still like to climb the European Union's tallest building, the Shard in London, despite the building's owners having taken out an injunction to stop him.
Speaking in advance of a visit to the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena yesterday, Mr Robert told The Herald that he considered the measures taken to prevent him climbing the glass skyscraper "stupid" as he had never wanted to do it without official blessing.
