Alain Robert, dubbed 'The Human Spider', is arguably the most daring climber the world has ever seen.

This heart-stopping Cutting Edge documentary follows the married father-of-three on his quest to 'free climb' some of the world's tallest buildings using just his bare hands, with no ropes or any safety equipment.
