A seven-year-old boy in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur is climbing walls like the Marvel superhero character Spider-Man. Yasharth Singh Gaur, a class three student, told ANI that he got the inspiration to climb walls without support after he saw the movie ‘Spider-Man’.

Many people are imitated by the epic scenes of the movie Spiderman. Many people are famous for climbing buildings and rocks. The seven-year-old is now gaining attention with his Spider-Man imitation. The boy hails from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh.

“When I saw the ‘Spider-Man’ movie, I wanted to climb walls like him. I tried doing that at home. Initially, I used to fall down, but later I mastered that technique. I told my brother about it, and he told everyone else,” said the boy.

Yasharth, who wants to be an IPS officer when he grows up, added that in the beginning the elders at home used to discourage him from climbing walls as they were afraid that he would fall down, but later when they saw him doing it daily, they stopped doing so. “I’m not afraid to fall. I will jump if I slip,” Yasharth added.

“I started trying but the first time I did, I fell down. I kept practicing and eventually one day I could climb. I called my brother who called my parents. Everyone was shocked but they asked me to not climb again otherwise I could fall and get hurt but I convinced them that I can climb.”

Ever since word of Spider Boy’s climbing skills spread around the neighborhood, locals started dropping by his house just to watch him scale the walls. He braces himself between two walls, in the corner of his room, then uses his bare feet to climb up, all the way to the ceiling. He is even able to free up his hands, using only his feet for support.

A local doctor, R. K. Massey, meanwhile, said that there was no miracle in what Yasharth was doing. "It is a case of practice making him perfect in doing the feat. He has practiced hard and is able to carry his weight. As he grows older and his weight increases, he may not be able to do so," he said.

Yasharth’s parents say that they are afraid he’ll fall and injure himself, but at the same time they are enthralled by his ability. “I look forward and not downwards. And if I ever feel like falling, I take the plunge carefully so to not hurt myself,” the boy reassured them.
