One of the most beloved superheroes of all time, Spiderman, is coming back to the big screen with ‘No Way Home’. Maybe it is the ability of being able to climb any building or skyscraper that attracts many to become a fan of Spiderman and spark their desire to climb walls. However, it is unsafe to just climb any selected building in Singapore.
Most importantly, it is impossible or illegal to climb any building without any permission from the relevant authorities. To rouse your inner Spiderman, why not head down to any of these indoor climbing gyms to stimulate the climbing genes in you instead?
