Daredevils climb Paris' highest point, the Eiffel Tower

Paris highest point
There are people who take physical risks in reckless abandonment. And that is the best description for two thrill-seekers who climbed the Eiffel Tower late night without any harness.

Ivan Kuznetsov and another friend of his bought their tickets like any other tourist to climb the stairs of the monumental tower. However, instead of leaving the structure at the call of the day, Ivan and his friends decided to stay back.

After they confirmed that everyone had gone home and the place deserted, Ivan and his friend challenged each other with the quest of climbing the Eiffel Tower without harness. Their act was however caught by drone footage which showed the pair carrying out the act without any safety equipment. The pair made to the top of the iconic structure were they snapped as the Sun rose in Paris.

The video of the footage was shared by Travel Ticker recently, but the event sometime last month.

This is not the first time someone would climb the Eiffel Tower. In November 2015, James Kingston of Britain did climb the tower without any safety. Just like Ivan, James carried out the risky venture with a partner in the night, which began at 1 am.
