Maison DesChamps, a climber who goes by the social media handle “Pro-Life Spiderman,” was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona, on Tuesday after scaling the former Chase tower.

The 23-year-old DesChamps scaled the 40-story building on Tuesday morning, starting just before 10 a.m. MST and ending about an hour later. Videos taken of DesChamps during the climb showed that he used a stemming technique to ascend a three-foot-wide channel that runs up the 483-foot tower.
