Climbing the James Kingston Tower Crane - Scariest Video of Today
YouTuber James Kingston has his heart racing after uploading a video of him climbing a crane in Munich that is guaranteed to be the scariest thing you watch today.
One of YouTube's greatest features is the ability to watch just about anything you could ever imagine, allowing viewers to view what they might not otherwise see about the creative, talented, and often courageous content producers who regularly upload videos to the Platform.
Of course, while some of these things are adventures of opportunity that many would love to have, we're not entirely sure if everyone will enjoy the awesome escapade that James Kingston uploaded to his channel on August 15th.
Known since 2013, when the Brit was at the peak of his free climbing and parkour days, he pulled off the trick one fine morning in Munich. Kingston decided to get the best view of the beautiful German city by making a leisurely climb to the top of the crane.
Anyone who has seen before Kingston in action, knows full well he's not afraid of heights, and began collaborating with FaZe Clan back in 2017 when he decided to enlarge his $10 million mansion. He has honed his skills around the world, climbing the arch of Wembley Stadium in London, atop a warship, and even hanging with one arm from a crane in Los Angeles.
So while climbing a crane in Munich doesn't seem out of the ordinary for Kingston, it's no less terrifying to look at the eight-minute uncut footage he uploaded to YouTube taken from a visit to the Bavarian city seven years ago.
In the video, he can be seen climbing a ladder into the cab of a car and then going outside and actually walking on a long metal arm that is designed to lift objects, stepping carefully over the thin frame as the wind blows around him.
From a POV perspective, you can see how small the area he has to walk across, but what's even crazier is how you can see how far off the ground he is, way above the multi-story buildings. You can watch the full video and give yourself a feeling of debilitating anxiety below.
Sure, the YouTuber managed to get down without falling onto the concrete in Munich, but that definitely doesn't make watching the video any less nerve-wracking, especially when he's looking down and showing you the cliff below.
In 2019, he announced that he would no longer be uploading climbing clips due to YouTube demonetizing his videos. However, he delighted fans in July 2020 when he confirmed they would be returning to his channel and is currently posting footage of climbs he has made in the past.
