A crowd of about 200 people gathered as Robert climbed the 41-storey Royal Bank of Scotland Tower at the Aurora Place. The crowd cheered when he reached the top of the building and immediately began his descent to street level.

Police had closed off surrounding streets in the central business district and arrested the Frenchman as he finished his descent.

Robert has scaled more than 70 skyscrapers all over the world including Chicago's Sears Tower, Canary Wharf in London and the Petronas towers in Malaysia and Shanghai's high building, Jin Mao Tower in 2007.
