Real-life Spiderman Jyothi Raj seems to be glued to the wall with his amazing ability to hang upside down on a vertical surface without using safety equipment.

These pictures show why the former construction worker has been favourably compared to the comic book hero.

The 22-year-old, who lives in the south of India, discovered his incredible climbing ability four years ago while scaling bamboo scaffolding widely used in the sub-continent.

Jyothi realized that he had an uncanny ability to place his hands and feet in exactly the right areas for a speedy climb.

Climbing the local fort in Chitradurga, Jyothi claims he feels no fear as he reaches heights of up to 300ft without using a harness.

Usually appearing every Sunday at the Chitradurga fort to entertain the crowds of tourists, Jyothi hopes one day to open his own climbing school.
