Photos show climber leaping between New York skyscrapers

These breathtaking photos show how a climber uses his incredible balance climb skyscrapers high above the streets of Manhattan.

LiveJN, as he is known, leaps over gaps between skyscrapers, sometimes with only the Empire State Building higher up, and relaxes right on the edge of buildings having made his daring climbs.

According to the New York Post, LiveJN’s real name is Justin Casquejo and in 2014 he sneaked out his home in Weehawken, New Jersey, and made it past multiple layers of security to climb to the top of One World Trade Center.

The fearless climber has ‘incredible balance’ said the photographer, who asked to be referred to as SVVK

The photographer, who asked to be referred to as SVVK, said: ‘LiveJN and I produced these images out of passion for adventure and love for the city. 

‘These images were taken on the rooftops of New York City’s most iconic skyscrapers.

‘We both live near the city and the unique skyscrapers captured our attention.

‘These images were taken when LiveJN was pushing his limits exploring the rooftops of Manhattan.

‘He has incredible balance and always thinks positively. Sometimes it looks like he may fall, but he is absolutely in control of his body.

‘For me, exploring these incredible skyscrapers up close and in person and at extreme heights is what makes New York City is such a unique experience.

‘Capturing the city with LiveJN showed me and others not to take life too seriously.

‘I started exploring rooftops to find innovative perspectives for photography and see the city like never before.’
