The Shanghai Tower is the second-tallest building in the world and upon its completion in 2014, the building will stand approximately 632 metres (2,073 ft) high.

These two Russians climbed 120 floors for two hours and had to sleep almost 18 hours on the site waiting for a good weather. Once they reached the top, they even climbed the crane, of course, with no safety gear...

Really impressive and definitively something to try...
