Real-life Spider Man Jyothi Raj, Chitradurga, Karnataka, India


Jyothi Raj is an Indian rock climber and wall climber from Chitradurga, Karnataka, India. Known as "Kothi Raju" or "Monkey King", Raj is famous for scaling the Chitradurga Fort without safety harnesses. He is also the only person to have scaled  Karnataka's  highest  waterfall, the  830-foot  Jog falls, climbing in the opposite direction to that of the flow.

On 13 September 2013, he scaled the clock tower at Moorusavir Math in Hubli in just over 15 minutes. He doesn't use any harness but used to rub magnesium carbonate powder on his palms for grip.















He spend his most of the time entertaining tourists by acrobatically climbing Chitradurga Fort. He fearlessly and effortlessly goes up 300-feet-high walls without a safety  harness  and hundreds of eyes watching from down below.

Young mister Rai says he developed  his  climbing  skills by watching  monkeys  climb  trees  and  trying  to reproduce stunts from his favorite films. He hopes he’ll soon be  recognized  as the world’s greatest climber. The real Spiderman says he has never wore safety equipment and has never had one accident. He believes his ability to see footholds others can’t is proof he was born to climb. He practices every day and does Yoga to maintain his flexibility.
