What No Web?
"But Spidey capabilities nonetheless..."
Meet real-life Spiderman Jyothi Raj. The 22 year old former construction worker from South India dicovered his superhero ability just over four years ago when facing the daily challenge of scaling the bamboo scaffolding widely used across his country. Recognising his innate ability to place his hands and feet with the precision to deliver the most efficient and rapid of climbs he thereafter applied himself in an effort to turn his talent into an art.
In this part of the world there are no harnesses, there is no net so these rapid 300 ft climbs up the fort wall in Chitradurga represent art in its most creative and determined form.

OK I've watched that upside down move 5 times now and it is definitely real - absolutely AWESOME. I wonder how many climbers are gymnasts? Props to this guy and then some... mind you he took his time a bit on the pillar. Slacker.
