A Yemeni daredevil known as “Spider-Man of Yemen” dies after a fall while attempting to climb a volcanic crater. Reports say Al-Qaqa Ibn Antar, 30, was climbing the steep walls of the Hardah Dam volcanic crater in Yemen’s Dhale province on Friday. Authorities describe the attempt as a climb of vertical rock faces without safety equipment or a net. One outlet reports the fall as nearly 400 feet, while others describe it more generally as a fall into the crater. After the accident, civil defence or rescue teams search for and recover his body following an extended operation, with one report describing nearly 24 hours for recovery. Multiple outlets use the same nickname and describe similar circumstances: a free-climbing stunt, lack of safety equipment, a fall into the crater, and a resulting death. The coverage is based on statements from authorities and accounts of the search and recovery efforts in the southern province.
