Two daredevils climb world’s second-tallest building for epic high-five

By Brian Koerber From Mashable

The Shanghai Tower, although still under construction, is the second largest building in the world. Standing at approximately 2,073 ft. the tower dominates the Shanghai skyline, making surrounding skyscrapers look cute in comparison.

Wielding GoPro cameras and apparently, no fear, Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov climbed through the clouds (smog), without any safety gear, to the very top of the tower, and released this anxiety-inducing first-person view of their ascent.

But this wasn’t enough for the team of daredevils. The duo then scaled one of the construction cranes perched atop of the tower, which is about 2,132 ft. tall, where they achieved one of the most epic high fives known to humankind.

This isn’t the team’s first adrenaline seeking mission either. They’ve climbed Egypt’s Great Pyramid, and posted plenty of other incredible climbing videos on their Youtube channel.
