Reach For The Star

Russian daredevil Tyomka Pirniazov free-climbed up to the ornate Soviet star on top of the Stalin-era Kotelnicheskaya Embankment Building aka Stalin's Skyscraper in Moscow. Which is made a little more impressive by the fact that he spent the duration of the climb with a camera clenched in his mouth.

..."camera clenched in his mouth"?
Nice climb, but a helmet and duct tape would have solved his camera problem. Maybe he could have filmed the entire climb too...
