Buildering is, strictly speaking, not stuntwork. The two building climbing (or human fly) feats shown here were done for publicity purposes. Many people do buildering as a clandestine sports activity. Only occasionally does a film or TV show call for someone climbing up the outside of a building - usually people are falling off! Buildering should not be attempted without previous experience at rock climbing. One slip and you can be killed - so you must have total knowledge of your own limitations.
