Police said that a professional climber, who was also booked on charges of criminal nuisance and trespassing, scaled Phoenix’s highest building Tuesday.
Maison Des Champs is 23, and bills himself as “The Official Pro-Life Spider-Man”. He climbed the Chase Tower, 483 feet in Phoenix in just 90 minutes to raise awareness about his anti-abortion cause.
He works for Let Them live, a non-profit that raises awareness and funds for women seeking an abortion because they can’t financially support a child.
Let Them live President and CEO Emily Berning said that Des Champs had climbed seven buildings in support of the cause.
