By Jake Rossen | June 16, 2023
George Willig, the renowned mountain climber known as "The Human Fly" or "The Spiderman," made history on May 26, 1977, when he scaled the South Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York City. Willig's daring feat, which took three and a half hours to complete, captured the attention of the world.
Willig, then a 28-year-old toymaker from Queens, New York, defied all odds and ascended the 1,350-foot-tall building without any safety equipment. His groundbreaking climb highlighted the ingenuity and determination of a man who refused to let obstacles stand in his way.
Willig's ascent of the WTC South Tower cemented his status as a legendary climber. His heroic act not only tested the limits of human endurance but also inspired countless others to pursue their dreams, no matter how daunting they may seem.
