Léo Urban is half man, half beast. He climbs skyscrapers without ropes or harnesses — a true daredevil. Léo climbed his first giant building in 2019 in Barcelona but he’s been hooked on climbing since the age of 12. Léo is known as the French Tarzan because he can climb, flip, and fly through the air, swinging from tree to tree. He’s been practicing Parkour for 17 years and also hangs out with monkeys. Léo has also competed on Ninja Warrior Spain and Netflix’s obstacle-racing show Ultimate Beastmaster.
