The Kotelnicheskaya Embankment is one of seven Stalin-era skyscrapers built in Moscow after World War II, and a popular destination for urban climbers, or "crazy people" as we like to call them here at Chicagoist.

This fellow climbed the Kotelnicheskaya Embankment apartment building earlier this week with a camera in his mouth to document his ascent. Aside from the running sneakers and the fleece snow gloves, he notes on the YouTube page that "All climber gear was removed, in order to avoid accidents." Go figure.
