A self-proclaimed ‘pro-life Spider-Man’ free-climbed the Las Vegas Sphere – on a mission to help a homeless mother cancel her abortion and save the baby.

Maison Des Champs on Wednesday morning scaled the recently unveiled 366-foot attraction that has LED screens in its exterior and interior and hosts big-ticket shows.

‘Climbing the sphere in Las Vegas to raise money for a mother facing an uncertain pregnancy,’ states a post on Des Champs’ Instagram page that shows him climbing up above the famous structure’s east floor entry.

Des Champs is a pro-life activist who ascends tall buildings in partnership with the nonprofit Let Them Live, which seeks to provide financial assistance to pregnant mothers and help them decide against abortion.

‘Over 2,000 children meet their demise through abortion every day in America, but we’ve grown apathetic about it,’ stated Des Champs through Let them Live.

‘We care more about seeing Taylor Swift on the kiss cam than a third of our generation that has been wiped from abortion.’

A video shows the daredevil appearing to walk on the top of the sphere, completing his mission for the day.

In another Instagram post, Des Champs recorded himself saying: ‘Hey guys, I’m here on the top of the sphere. I guess they’re going to make me go through the top, but I just wanted to say that we’re doing this to today to raise money for a mother named Isabel. She is homeless and pregnant and needs help.’

A Sphere Entertainment spokesperson told the TV channel: ‘We are grateful to the local authorities for their support in this matter. The individuals involved are currently in the custody of LVMPD.’

Police blocked off traffic to the sphere and several people on the street were also detained, according to Scripps News.

Des Champs completed the stunt four days before Super Bowl LVIII unfolds in Las Vegas. Thousands of people have been arriving in Sin City ahead of the game on Sunday which Swift is expected to attempt to fly to from Tokyo to see her support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

A Las Vegas native, Des Champs was arrested for climbing the 51-story Salesforce Tower in San Francisco in 2022. He scaled the Accenture Tower in Chicago in October and was arrested again.

Let Them Live has a webpage for 37-year-old Isabel, who has adopted out three of her kids, has twins living with her ex-husband and had scheduled an abortion for Saturday since she did not think she could provide for another child. The page had raised $267 as of Wednesday afternoon.
