Scaling the Diamond Web

I scampered right up to the ballfield perimeter, staring at the towering wall of zigzag steel diamonds. Ultimate Spider-Man training time! I clamped my front pincers onto the cool galvanized wire and hoisted myself up, rung by rung. Clink, rattle! Each grip sent a cheerful metallic hum through the fence. Just as I reached the middle crossbar to survey the vast green outfield, a breezy gust gave the whole fence a loud shudder. Whoops! My lower footing skittered off the smooth curve, swinging me out into midair like a high-flying acrobat. I locked my upper claws around the wire knot, laughing as the chain-link buzzed against my chest!
