If you've got a fear of heights, you may have a panic attack watching these Russian daredevils scale tall buildings from a first person perspective.
As the launch clip of a new Internet-based reality show entitled 'Show Yourself,' the clip shows from a vertigo-inducing first-person viewpoint these thrill-seekers climbing a construction crane on top of a building. If that wasn't terrifying enough for you, the crane is covered in ice and snow during a snow storm.
Who knows what crazy stunts the series will dig up for future episodes, but if this clip is any indication the footage is sure to be intense. For those who love adventure, this short video will give a few tips on how to scale tall buildings and live to tell the tale.
