The rooftopping team known as On The Roofs have yet again risked their lives to get the ultimate shot.

The Russian group, this time consisting of Vitaliy Raskalov, Vladimir Sidorov and Ivan Beerkus, are well known for breaking onto the roofs of skyscrapers across the world, this time topping the Shun Hing Square in Shenzhen, China.

In typical fashion, the team didn't just stop at the the roof of the building, they climbed to the top of one of two spires located atop the tower, which tops off at 1,260 feet above the ground.

Making the moment even more intense, the ladders which reach the top of the spires did not have safety cages, but On The Roofs didn't really seem to care.

It's unclear whether the team had permission to scale the skyscraper, but it should be noted that they were able to break through a door with a suspicious amount of ease.
