A man climbed up a cliff and found himself hanging from a tree trying to take a shortcut home in Dalian, Liaoning province, on Sunday.

The man told his friend, with whom he had been fishing, that he was sure there was a shorter way to his house from the top of the cliff.

His friend tried discouraging him but failed.

The man climbed up the cliff and was stranded on a tree 20 meters above the ground when his friend phoned firefighters for help.
