Super Human Challenge

Episode 9: Alain Robert - Extreme Climbing

First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on CBBC HD

Tim Fitzhigham meets the humans who defy science and puts their powers to the test - against himself. Tim meets Alain Robert, aka the French Spider-Man. Alain is famous for climbing the world's tallest buildings using no climbing equipment except for a small bag of chalk and a pair of climbing shoes.

Tim and Alain travel to Qatar, in the Middle East and go head to head in three super tests. Will Tim match up to Alain at the climbing wall, on the hanging bars and when they face the ultimate test - climbing the 300 meter high Torch, Doha? These tests are as dangerous as they sound, so Tim uses state-of-the-art technology and his very own mission doctor as he prepares for his challenges.
