PETRONAS TOWERS – done them …

From Forthview’s superheroes to a French Spiderman … sacre bleu!

Edinburgh Leisure-managed Edinburgh International Climbing Arena (EICA:Ratho) is preparing  to welcome internationally renowned ‘French Spiderman’ Alain Robert on Friday (8 March) for an evening of stories from his career in urban climbing.

Having conquered many of the world’s tallest and most recognisable buildings without the use of safety equipment,Alain has been described as one of the greatest daredevils of all time.

In 2011, Alain completed the assisted ascent of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai – the World’s Tallest Building at 828m/2717ft. During his career in urban climbing, the Frenchman has also climbed unassisted to the top of the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, Sears Tower in Chicago, the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge, both Petronas Towers in Malaysia and One Canada Square in London’s Canary Wharf.

EIFFEL TOWER - doen that!

On the 8 March, EICA:Ratho will host an evening with the legendary climber, during which Alain himself will tell stories from his incredible life of climbing. He is set to fascinate and amaze the audience through tales of fears and injuries he has had to overcome, and he will share photos and memories from some of his most famous climbs. There will also be a chance for the audience to ask Alain any questions they may have.

Marc Stalker, Events and Hospitality Supervisor at the EICA commented: “It truly is an honour to be able to welcome someone of Alain’s stature to the EICA, and it has been amazing for our centre to attract such a world-wide star. It will be a great night, and I’m sure everyone in the audience will leave amazed at some of the stories that Alain will tell!”

Alain’s spectacular career has been widely shared via social media, notching up several million views via video sharing site YouTube.

Tickets are available directly from the EICA Reception priced at £18 – either in person or by phoning 0131-333-6333. More information is available via www.eica-ratho.co.uk or by emailing events.eica@edinburghleisure.co.uk
