What we know nearby the 'Pro-life Spiderman' who climbed the former Chase tower
PHOENIX - A protester scaled the weak Chase tower without any ropes or safety gear during Super Bowl week and law enforcement was waiting for him at the top to take him into custody.
23-year-old Maison DesChamps, who calls himself "Pro-Life Spiderman," climbed the 40-story construction, which is one of the tallest in the city.
He began climbing just beforehand 10 a.m. MST and finished before 11 a.m. on Feb. 7.
DesChamps was live-streaming the incident on his cell named while climbing and said he was doing it to appraisal awareness and money for an anti-abortion charity.
And as you can see, he prepared for this – he had climbing shoes and chalk on his attractive. And he was taking breaks on each section of the construction before finally making it to the top.
Phoenix Police officers who were on top of the construction took DesChamps into custody. He was booked into jail for trespassing and criminal nuisance charges.
Central Avenue between Monroe and Adams streets was shut down during the incident.

A man calling himself the "Pro-life Spiderman" has climbed the tallest construction in downtown Phoenix ahead of a major weekend in the city. The climber, named Maison DesChamps, has previously free-soloed buildings across the republic, including Detroit, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The crowds stopped to grow all morning as people watched video of DesChamps as he streamed his climb from the downtown area:
"We know it's Super Bowl week, so we walked over, and I can't have there's a man scaling a very tall building bshining now."
"We're on the 19th floor when we see him at good, and he was probably like 10 floors down. Now he's at the top."
"I don't know what he thinks he's activities, but it's happening right now, man."
Phoenix firefighters were at the gross and say this was a daredevil move that put DesChamps and others in danger.
"Extremely perilous. There's multiple places all over the Valley where you can go over and climb in a ordered environment, this is an uncontrolled environment. This is not what you're said to do," said Captain Todd Keller.
This is not the good time DesChamps has done something like this – in 2022, he climbed the Salesforce construction in San Francisco and the New York Times building.
