A group of daredevil climbers have scaled a neck-creaking skyscraper without any safety gear as they live life on the edge.

Spectacular images show what the fearless thrillseekers would have seen from their perspective as they peered into the drop with nothing to protect them.

In one picture a member of the extreme climbers hangs precariously from the chains on a nearby construction crane in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.

Photographer Yaroslav Segeda first got a taste for climbing when him and his friends scaled a 25-storey building that was still under construction.

The 21-year-old said: "It was difficult to get near the building as all the entrances were close but as soon as I reached the top I knew that roofing was for me.

"You can't recreate the feeling you get when you reach the top of the building, it's a wonderful feeling of self satisfaction and accomplishment.

"When we heard there a new skyscraper being constructed in Kiev, we all had the same idea to climb the a crane get a picture of us hanging from the chain."

The pictures were taken between September 2012 and April 2013 and the group incredibly managed to evade security as they scaled the skyscrapers.

They have also climbed a 250ft building in Russia's capital Moscow.

Mr Segeda added: "Usually we have no problems reaching the top of buildings unnoticed but sometimes passersby bring some unwanted attention.

"I never really feel scared when climbing, the feeling is more like excitement than fear."
