Sunday’s ascent was his 85th building climb in just 14 years. <br /><br />In 2011, he climbed the nearby Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower, this time using a rope and harness in order to comply with requirements set out by an organizer. It took him just over six hours to scale the 2,717-foot-tall building, according to a New York Post report. <br /><br />Despite claiming to suffer from vertigo, Robert says his obsession with climbing has left him partially disabled, the Daily Mail reports. <br /><br />Robert says he believes that pushing limits and constantly aiming higher is how we can all develop stronger mindsets.
