Have progressed to climbing tall stuff and then hanging off it.

That second picture reminds me of Luke Skywalker after the first fight with Vader.

Whilst undeniably nuts I am presuming they are pretty accomplished climbers in which case it's probably the equivalent of us standing on a ladder 3 ft off the ground as they're all pretty good holds, relatively speaking. Great shots though.

This guy may be - a lot of them are just bored kids off 'council estates'.

In which case it's just natural selection 🙂

Climbers or not, they must have a screw loose somewhere. Makes me feel ill just looking at the pictures 😯

That second photo makes my stomach turn. The potential for it to go horribly wrong is so great...

Yuk, I can't imagine they climbed the flat surfaced office block thingy, so that suggests they dropped down off the top, which in itself is bonkers.

Do they bounce if they hit the ground?

Just asking like.

they just get to the top and hang rather than climb, more details and nausea inducing drops here;

I'd like to see how he got back up in the second pic. Presumably round the side there is an easier route as it would be a hell of a dyno up to the higher ledge.

It's all a camera trick. Those buildings are sideways and he's just lying down on them.
