A fearless adventurer nicknamed the 'Spider-Man of Yemen' has died after falling into a volcano crater while trying to scale a vertical rock face without any safety gear.

The climber, who was well-known for his extreme stunts, had built a reputation for scaling dangerous heights without ropes or harnesses. His previous exploits included climbing steep cliffs and buildings, often documented on social media, where he gained a following.

On his final climb, he arrived at the volcano crater and began ascending the sheer rock wall without safety lines. At some point, he lost his grip and plunged into the crater below. Rescue teams recovered his body, but he died from the impact.

Local authorities expressed condolences to his family and warned about the dangers of such reckless activities. The tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety precautions, even for the most experienced climbers.
