A German teen blogger documented his adventure of climbing the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. It is prohibited to climb the pyramids in order to prevent severe accidents; those who cross the law might get arrested.
Eighteen-year-old Andrej Ciesielski, who hails from Munich, published his fearless antic on his blog that shows all of his rooftop adventures. Included in his blog are "roofing" adventures in other cities such as Dubai and Hong Kong.
"I can't describe it in words ... It was really unbelievable for me. It was absolutely amazing" Cieselski said, according to USA Today.

Without any form of safety equipment, Ciesielski only had a GoPro with him. He was able to document his climb on the 455-foot Great Pyramid for only eight minutes.
"When I started climbing a street seller was standing behind me but I didn't care about him I turned around, he laughed and I continued climbing," the adventurous teen said, the New York Daily News reported.
Authorities already warned Ciesielski while he was climbing.
"At the half some people got attention on me and looked up to (me.) That's how the police spotted me. They shouted something in Arabic I think but I didn't care and kept going while listening to music," he added.

He noted that what he witnessed was majestic and he was able to to take in the Egyptian culture in the best light possible. His bold feat only cost him a trip to an Egyptian police station.
"When I got back down, the police were quick to take me to the station and question me. They also had a look at my camera to see what I had been up to," Ciesielski said, according to The Telegraph.
"At first, they wanted to take me to the German embassy, but after a while I was released without anything further happening," he added.
