Two Russian daredevils scaled the second highest building in the world with no safety harnesses — and caught it all on camera to share with the world.

Russian daredevils scale world's second tallest building in terrifying stunt

Vadim Makhorov and Vitaliy Raskalov sneaked into the still under-construction Shanghai Tower and scaled the mind-boggling heights without a moment’s hesitation.

From the looks of things the hooded duo are made of sterner stuff than most — with the mere sight of the heights they reached enough to send a shiver down your spine.

The eerie view from atop the skyscraper shows other colossal buildings dwarfed from their vantage point and shrouded in a thick fog.

Construction on the mammoth tower is due to be completed later this year when and will stand at a total height of 838m (2073ft).

It’s not the Russian thrill-seekers first spectacular video, or their first time scaling a tower as you can see below.

Their YouTube and Vimeo channels are full of interesting videos including this gorgeous Siberian timelapse.
