Three young thrill-seekers have scaled two giant bridges in Vladivostok just to take stunning photos of the city.
First, they climbed a 240-metre-high pylon of the bridge over Zolotoy Rog Bay without using any safety equipment. Pictures of the stunt went online along with a promise to climb an even taller bridge the next day.
They then scaled a 320-metre crane over Russky Island Rridge and took even more breathtaking photos.
When they came back down, however, the police were waiting for them. The daredevils were taken to a police station – to be released several hours later after a serious telling-off.
One of the trio, 19-year-old Moscow student Vitaly Raskalov, has already made a name for himself on social networks for his climbing antics both in Russia and abroad.
