A second man climbed up the side of the New York Times' building on the West Side, just hours after a daredevil did the same stunt.
The New York Times reported on its City Room blog that the man was climbing on the south side of the building and as of 6:10 p.m., he was nine stories up.
He appeared to be moving at a slower rate than Alain Robert, an experienced climber who scaled the building eariler in the day.
Robert -- known as the French "Spiderman" -- has also climbed other towers around the world.
Robert, 45, told reporters ahead of the climb on U.N World Environment Day his aim was "to raise awareness of global warming since this is one of the main problems for our time."
