    About this Image
    Rustam is one of Russia’s leading free climbers. Today he’s taken time out from competitions to go on safari near Moscow. Accompanying him is photographer Denis Klero. “Today Rustam’s climbing for fun, not for practice,” says Denis. “But climbing in the city can give you an extra rush of adrenalin, partly because no one’s ever climbed these places before and partly because we haven’t asked the police for permission.”
