This is the heart-stopping moment a ’70-year old’ man descended a mountain crevasse without ropes – head first.
Incredible footage shows the Russian man, named Diduh Andrey Andronovich, deftly dropping down the precipice from a huge height with ease and finishing in the splits.
The clip was filmed at the Stolby Nature Reserve in Russia on September 19 and posted online.
The video films the terrifying moment the ageing man starts his descent from the top of a tall mountain cliff.
Andrey who, according to local reports, is at least least 70 years old has a unique way of descending.
He chooses to free fall down the vertical cliff head first, wearing no protective gear or abseiling ropes.
He is dressed casually wearing ripped baggy jeans, a green hoodie and is sporting a long white beard.

He uses his hands to steady his controlled fall and push off the rock in Spiderman-like movements.
The pensioner miraculously makes it to the bottom of the cliff unharmed and stands up straight to the applause of the audience gathered below.
His daredevil performance is not over yet as he shows off his agility by stretching one leg over the gap and finishing in the splits.
The video was shot in Stolby Nature Reserve, a popular rock climbing spot with climbers, near Krasnoyarsk in Russia.
The amazing descent took place last month on September 19.
The person who filmed the footage gave away the unbelievable age of the man, saying: ‘His name is Andrey and he is 70 years old!’
