Watch: Two men climb the Shanghai Tower, and film it

So far the pair have not heard anything from the city's authorities. However, they say that mainland authorities contacted both Russia and Ukraine with a request to ban the men from visiting China for 20 years.

"Vadim may have some trouble, but Ukraine has too many problems of its own to deal with now, so it should be fine for me," said Raskalov, referring to the deadly clashes between protesters and police in Kiev.

He said they were now looking for sponsors in Hong Kong to stage the first Asia exhibition of photographs and videos from four years of their daredevilry.
