Alain Robert a/k/a "Spiderman" freeclimbs NY Times Building

In an effort to increase attention to global warming, Alain Robert scaled the New York Times newspaper's new 52 story office building on 40th street and 8th avenue. I heard a rumor that someone else freeclimbed the same building a few hours apart from Spiderman, but couldn't I confirm it. Robert's been freeclimbing buildings around the world since 1990s. His achievements include the Eiffel Tower, the Sears Tower, the Petronas Twin Towers, and the Sydney Opera House. [Edit]: confirmed: the second climber's name is Raymond Clark. HE wanted to bring awareness to global malaria and poverty.
