Spiderman-wannabe scales Jinmao, gets arrested

jinmaospidey.jpgCall it the unauthorized sequel of Alain Robert's Spidey-themed Jinmao jaunt, from last June. The Shanghai Daily reports:

An unidentified man became the sixth man to climb the 88-floor Jin Mao Tower last night, although he certainly took his time completing the ascent.

The man dressed in a black T-shirt began climbing the building from the top of a dumpster at around 6pm, and didn't finish until around 11pm after taking a short break to catch his breath near the 80th floor.

Police said he may be held in custody for a term ranging from five days to two weeks.

After evading a series of climber-deterring metal spikes at the bottom of Jinmao, Shanghai Spidey paused for a breather around floor 80, then resumed his climb to the top of the tower.
