Its very rare to have such high structures in my city so I couldn't pass off the opportunity to climb it and get some awesome shots. The crane is just over 250ft tall and 150ft across. It took about 20 minutes of slow climbing and shooting to reach the top. I stayed at the top for around an hour enjoying the view, jumping around and capturing it all. I didn't plan to do anything really. All I wanted to do was get up there in time for sunrise. But he said he wasn't scared while on the crane, despite its height. He said: 'You can't afford to be scared when you're hanging by your finger tips. I did it for the adventure. Life's too short to be sat around worrying about your future. You have no time to waste!
