Peter Overton met the real Spiderman. Not nerdy Peter Parker, but a real life superhero - a Frenchman called Alain Robert. What he does is pretty astounding. Like a human spider, he climbs the tallest skyscrapers on earth - no ropes, no safety harnesses, no back up crews. One slip and he's dead. It sounds crazy but it's made this pint-size daredevil a rich man, a star who can attract 100,000 fans to one of his performances. It's also a dream fulfilled, his way of escaping his greatest fear - boredom.
