Anyone scared of heights need not apply.
It is one of the most gut-wrenching experiences imaginable, but ‘Rooftopping’, a new heart-stopping photography craze is sweeping across the globe.
Those brave enough to give it a try must go to the tops of the world’s tallest buildings, shimmy to the side and then hang off the edge in a bid to capture the perfect picture.
Travel photographer Tom Ryaboi has spent his life dangling from buildings trying to achieve what he calls the ultimate rush. He said: ‘When you climb to the top of a skyscraper and open its hatch for the first time, a pure rush of adrenaline hits you as you overlook the city from above.

‘There is a group of very dedicated individuals who will not rest until they are able to stand on every roof in the city and call it theirs, even if it’s just for a minute or two.’
‘I was almost two years old then and they are still trying to figure out how I got up there. Here I am, 25 years later, still trying to sit on top of the tallest things I see.
‘It is quite addictive, standing on top of the world, but there is something more. There is really only one way to find out what that is… I urge you to get on a roof and discover it for yourself.’
