A teen has captured terrifying footage of himself dangling one-handed from a crane 650 feet above Paris.
Adam Lockwood's jaw-dropping feat gave him a unique bird's eye view of Tour Alto - the tallest building in Paris - and the iconic River Seine.
But 18-year-old Mr Lockwood, who has been scaling buildings, cranes and bridges for the last three years, insisted he felt no fear during the death-defying stunt.
The video shows Mr Lockwood walk through the unfinished building and onto a bridge connecting it to the crane in Puteaux, a western suburb of the city.
He then climbs along the bridge and up various ladders to reach the top.
But after reaching the red crane via a ladder, the hatch was locked so he had to climb around the outside ring to get onto the jib.
A shirtless Mr Lockwood then dangles one-handed off the side of the crane before pulling himself back up.
He then hangs upside down and says: 'Wow, you have no idea what this feeling is like you know.'

The teenager, from Wigan, Greater Manchester, said: 'We think we were close to being 200 metres in the air.
'We were really near the tallest building in Paris - I'd only ever been to Paris for conventional family holidays before but never for this so it was unreal to see - an insane view.
'There are words to describe how dangling at that height feels, but I wasn't scared.
'I don't really feel fear anyway, but when you're doing something as serious as a 200 metre dangle there's no room for fear.
'Fear increases the chance of something going wrong, so you just block it out.'
Mr Lockwood and his friend decided to climb the crane - the second tallest in the city - during a six day trip to Paris.
The pair found a way into the building site, which didn't alert security, before making their way up the stairs and onto the crane.
Adam added: 'I have been doing this for three years now.
'There are risks in everyday life, not just climbing.'
