What a buzz. I wonder what the fine or penalty would be if they got busted?
Would've scared me sh!tless 
Did they do a base jump or did they have to climb back down?
I could not watch this directly, only side on and even then I ended up with a headache and my toes and fingers curled into fists!
Amazing lack of security. And yeah the pollution is staggering, thicker than Manila and I thought that was bad.

i have seen similar footage before and I think the distorted lens of a gopro makes it quite off-putting

What are they hoping for?
An audience. Go Pro and Youtube have a lot to answer for.

These guys are cool. They do it for a living and take those risks on a daily basis. The other two are French Frill Seekers.
But they do have balls to do it.

I know a few people like that too... AKA riggers. Who do you think erects/dismantles them?
Back in 1970 I saw a guy place himself in a wire strop hooked to a crane on the top of the Australia Square Building (which is round ) and ride the hook to the ground.
Six hundred or six thousand feet it doesn't matter. If you fall you are dead. While he was being lifted and swung over the side he pulled out his papers and baccy and rolled a durrie one handed.

Obviously had a death wish.

Standard practice right up until the early 90's
Hand holds all the way, what's the problem? We're a brachiating species. Far less skill involved in gripping a handhold and not letting go than there is gripping the steering wheel of a car and negotiating a country back road at 100 kph. Our instinctive cautionary fear is tuned for heights, but, so far, not for speed.
