This was to make sure his plan would not be stopped by authorities.<br /><br />Building on the success of the climb, Robert plans to conquer the second-tallest building in Hong Kong, which is Two International Finance Center.<br /><br />[Alain Robert, French Spiderman]:<br />"Hong Kong is a good place, you know, it's the right spot, there is so many buildings and some of them they are really fantastic piece, I am thinking especially about 2IFC which is, there is years and years, you know, that I am trying to get the approval."<br /><br />It took Robert around 40 minutes to climb the Hang Seng Bank building, using just his bare hands and without any safety equipment.<br /><br />A crowd of pedestrians gathered at the foot of the building to watch the death-defying stunt.<br /><br />[Kate Makusenko, Onlooker]:<br />"I was just passing by and I saw this. He is crazy."<br /><br />Despite not having official permission to scale the walls of the building, Robert was allowed to walk away without charges, after a short discussion with the police and the management of the building.<br /><br />[Alain Robert, French Spiderman]:<br />"At the end of the day, I am very, very sure that there is absolutely zero damage and in terms of the law, what I did now is not considered as a crime, so then that is the reason why I have been released."
