A group of high-climbers from Sussex have reached new heights - quite literally.

The Storror group, based in Brighton and Hove, recently climbed the 51-storey Leadenhall Building in the City of Westminster and next to The Gherkin.

They were not wearing any harnesses - and one of the climbers, Benj Cave, of Horsham, had a broken wrist.

Max Cave, from Horsham, said it was their “biggest climb yet”.

Also climbing was Toby Segar and Jacob Williams Releasing exclusive pictures of the climb, he said: “We do it to see the views that only a small percentage of people can see, for the challenge of climbing up and down unseen and unheard.

“We also do it to get quality photos and footage.”

Max, 21, said climbing the Leadenhall was “the most scary climb we have done”.

He said: “It wasn't climbing up that was the scary part it was when we were at the top ready to get down.

“We had recently brought some parachutes and planed to get down by using them but it was the first time any of had used them in a situation like that so we all were too scared and decided not to do it - plus it was really windy.

“This climb was a perfect example of we get up to.

“We train Parkour and free-run all day and then in the night or early morning go climb a big building for the views.”

Max admitted he and his fellow climbers had been injured.

He said: “I've been shot while climbing on a roof.

“Toby's snapped his collar bone and knocked out his front four teeth on a seesaw and Benj has broken his wrists six times and was actually climbing with a broken wrist during that climb.”

The group, who said they have climbed every big building in Brighton and Hove plus the Ox Tower, London Eye and Wembley Stadium and One Canada Square in London, next plan to climb The Shard.

But it does have its pitfalls.

Max claimed the group had been banned from Malta after allegedly starting a spate of tombstoning injuries.

The Times of Malta reported on this, although the Maltese Government could not confirm it.

Max said: “We went to Malta to make a cliff jumping video in 2011 and also returned the next year to make a bigger and better one.

“These two videos went viral in Malta and sparked a cliff jumping craze all over the island.

“People started getting hurt and injured because they didn't check the water.

“People put the blame on us and our video.

“We would have returned this year to make a third video but we are all banned from the island and can never return.”
