Al-Qa'qa' bin Antar, a 30-year-old climber widely recognised online as the 'Spider-Man of Yemen,' has died after falling into a volcanic crater. The tragic incident, which was caught on video and shared across social media, happened while he was undertaking a high-risk ascent in the Al Dhale province.
Local reports say the content creator was navigating the 120-metre Haradhat Damt crater without harnesses or safety ropes when he lost his footing. Known as a 'fearless climber,' he frequently scaled steep cliffs and recorded the feats for his online audience. His sudden death concludes an internet career built on extreme physical risk.
