A fearless rock climber casually clambers along a giant mountain nearly 2,000 feet from the ground without a care in the world.

Jackson Groves, 31, embarked on a horrifying hike in Bernese Oberland, Switzerland.

Buildings and cars look like miniature toys far below him.

He tackled cliff-clinging, tightrope walking, suspension bridge crossing, and even a zip line.

The top of the rock face is 1,968 feet (600 metres) from the ground. It is over six times the height of Big Ben which 316 feet (96 metres) tall.

The adventure-lover from Adelaide, Australia, has spent the last seven years travelling the world’s most terrifying landmarks.

However, his latest challenge may have given the most avid thrill-seekers a fear of heights.

In a video uploaded to his 474,000 followers, Jackson can be seen bravely tackling the steep summit as he slowly walks down the giant mountain.

Jackson appears cool as a cucumber as he explores the mountain at a great height above spectacular views.

The video has since gone viral, raking up over 20,000 likes.

”I was drawn to the mountains for the love of a challenge,” Jackson told NeedToKnow.Online.

”I've been hiking for about five years and mountaineering for two years.

“My favourite climb has been Ama Dablam as it was the most exciting climb with a technical route to the summit.

”It's a completely foreign activity for most people in Australia but my family supports me.”

Shocked users rushed to the comments to share their thoughts.

One user said: “How is this enjoyable?”

”Life is important Bro,” joked someone else.

”Omg!! My anxiety watching this,” wrote a third user.
