"Roof climber" Vitaliy Raskalov explains for the Web-only show Show Yourself how the group needed to elude "video cameras, motion-detectors, dozens of security guards, and a real-life anthill of Turkish construction workers" to climb Mercury City Tower's 1,213 feet. "Our lawyer did not like this idea," chimed in a co-climber.
