Bloody hell, these guys are damn brave/stupid to do that. Crazy props to them.
Damn Dragon archers. Good thing about that experience was that I learned how useful poisoned arrows were.

It's a picture from the ground looking up.
Ah, I see. That makes much more sense (although doesn't fit with the theme from the rest of the pictures of being up on high places, but nonetheless)
It looks like cheap ass CG. Lol amazing.
I really like these pictures, but I don't think they're worth a life. It has to be a matter of time, right? Can these guys really cheat death indefinitely?
Wow. God DAMN.
Wow. God DAMN.
Yes, I think it is amazing. I would love to have a photograph half that good in my portfolio.
haha that dude went to my high school

Beautiful photos...

Is Russia that bad where people don't care what they do because hell it's better than Russia?

Not even all the nopes in the world would suffice. Balls of stainless steel.

i actually love those high top pics a lot really gives off a sense of scale and makes everything look like model toys (i always love looking out the window of an airplane just to see the scale and size its quite amazing really)
That's Shanghai, not HK.

Let's give them this stereotype. It's badass. The rest of us non-Russians are not worthy.
(I guess they're actually Ukrainian though..)

Maybe for a million dollars? Nope, fuck it.

Yo, fuck that. The part where she's struggling to get past a overhang is just torture to watch.

Some of those rocks look like they'll come loose at any moments notice and tear your shit up. Wow. Ridiculous. Didn't some dude die doing this type of stuff? He was a beast too and he did "speed climbs" I think they called it. Years of experience but one fateful day he just couldn't make it.

When one of them inevitably falls to their death, I won't feel bad.

Those guys are awesome, same people who climbed that tower in Shanghai (they climbed a lot of places, but that one got viral).
Check out their site.
They take fantastic pictures.
Awesome pics!
