Haters will say it's Photoshop, but a YouTube video details the daredevil's insane climb to the top of a Vancouver crane.

The ridiculously dangerous stunt was not lost on Vancouver Police who stated that "rooftopping" is often criminal and poses risks not only to the climber but to first responders and the public.

“If one of these people slips and falls, a first responder has to put their safety at risk to rescue the rooftopper,” said Const. Jason Doucette. “We encourage anyone who feels they are witnessing a criminal offence to contact their local police immediately”

In July 2017, two American men were arrested after climbing the Lions Gate Bridge to capture a photo from the top towers.

Admittedly impressed and a little jealous, both of the guys who just got busted climbing to the top of lions gate bridge and the cops who got to climb up after them. The rebel bridge climbers were busted, 👮cops were nice. #rebelbridgeclimbers #copsonthebrige #goodcops #eyophoto #lionsgatebridgeclimber #vancouver

Needless to say, NowMedia does not condone nor endorse this reckless behaviour.

However, if you take a nice photo on a casual hike give us a tag on Instagram!
