Frenchman Alain Robert, 50...aka...Spiderman...known for scaling buildings around the world...without ropes or nets...successfully climbed the rusted 27 story Habana Libre hotel in Cuba.
Robert has climbed Chicago's Sears/Willis Tower, NYC's Empire State Building and Malaysia's Petronas Tower.
The Habana Libre...formerly the Hilton...was a challenge because it has fallen into severe disrepair since being taken over by Fidel Castro in 1959.
It once housed Castro's personal office.
