In Chicago, a daring free-climbing incident took place at the Accenture Tower, which houses the Consulate General of Israel to the Midwest. Maison Des Champs, also known as “Pro-Life Spiderman,” scaled the entire tower without any safety equipment. This act was performed to draw attention to the non-profit organization Let Them Live, raising funds to support women in crisis pregnancy situations.

The climb was specifically dedicated to a young mother named Sierra, with the goal of raising $27,000 to assist her in choosing life for her unborn child and achieving financial stability by the time the baby is born.
Maison Des Champs is no stranger to such climbs, having completed eight “free-solo” climbs previously, including the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco and the Chase Tower in Phoenix. Typically, his climbs lead to arrest, and it remains uncertain what charges he may face from Chicago Police. The Accenture Tower is located in the 500 block of West Madison Street in Chicago.
