Here’s the part of urban climbing you don’t see — VIDEO

Urban climbing, also known as buildering, is a trend where people climb up insanely tall buildings or structures, commonly cranes.

YouTube user, James Kingston, has become quite popular for posting point-of-view videos of his climbs and decided to do something special for his viewers.

Instead of filming the climb up, Kingston shows us what it looks like getting back down to the sweet, sweet ground.

Watching the video completely uncut shows just how much physical strength and confidence it takes to make it back down safely.

Check out the video below to enjoy all 7 1/2 minutes of the sweaty-palm inducing descent from the top of a crane.
