Daredevil poses for skyscraper selfie after climbing Burj Khalifa

Nineteen-year-old Alexander Remnev from Moscow scaled the Princess Tower - the worlds tallest residential building - before getting his camera out

 

A Russian daredevil has captured a vertigo-inducing selfie - while standing on top of a Dubai skyscraper.

 

Nineteen-year-old Alexander Remnev scaled the Princess Tower - the worlds tallest residential building at 1,350ft - before getting his camera out to take these stomach-churning pictures.

 

Alexander, from Moscow, who was on holiday in Dubai with friends, says they climbed a number of the city's towering skyline during the course of their stay.

 

He said: "Dubai has amazed me with its skyscrapers and views from them.

 

"We love the height of Dubai - it is a city of skyscrapers. We climbed on top of as many as we could.

 

"After this trip, buildings in Russia seem very small.

 

"In Dubai, there are a lot of open roofs. It was not difficult to climb up to them."

 

He's part of a group known as 'skywalkers' who scale the tallest buildings in the world - rarely using safety gear - and post the pictures and videos online.
