French daredevil Jean-Michel Casanova scaled the 564 feet Bailong Elevator in China with no help from any machinery, safety net or safety equipment.
Casanova's green-and-black sticky sneakers were the only help he needed in his dizzying feat.
According to officials, Casanova climbed the huge steel tower in 68 minutes and 26 seconds, while spectators looked on in awe, the New York Daily News reported.
The Bailong Elevator, also known as the "Hundred Dragons" elevator, opened 10 years ago, situated in a mountain range near Zhangjiajie in China's Hunan Province.
A tourist attraction in its own right, the dragon ladder was recorded as the world's highest elevator in the Guinness book of world records.
The elevator is composed of shafts inside the mountain and a steel structure outside of the mountain.
