If you have even the slightest fear of heights, look away now.
These pictures taken from footage showing a Russian teenager climbing around a crane 1,000ft up in the sky are enough to make your palms sweat even if you have never suffered from vertigo.
The youth is seen walking along the crane as if it were a tightrope, without showing even a flicker of fear at being so far from the ground.
Without a safety harness, hard hat or even a rope, he confidently walks - and even skips - along the red metal crane in his trainers.
The three-minute clip, posted on Youtube, shows his astonishing courage (or should that read foolhardiness?) as he casually strips off his jumper and puts on a woolly hat for his sky-high work-out
The boy, who looks little older than 16 or 17, then climbs over the side and hangs from just one hand.
The cars in the street below are so tiny they look like toys as he does monkey bars dangling off the crane.
And the roofs of the surrounding tower blocks look a long way below the crane where the boy is gambolling about like a carefree toddler in a playground.
In one heart-stopping moment, he does pull-ups with one hand as he hangs from the crane, before pulling himself up and back on top of it again.
