Leonardo Pereira, 23, admitted that he was afraid the first time he dangled off the 3,000-foot cliff off the Pedra da Gavea mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Pereira met his girlfriend Victoria Nader, 18, while rock climbing and one of the couple's very first dates was hiking to the top of Pedra da Gavea.
"There's no rope, just my arm and [I] trust myself," Pereira told ABC News. "We love living on the edge, it's make us alive and make us challenge ourselves."
"We love adrenaline and adventure things, there's no time or weather that stop us," Pereira added. "'If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it is lethal.'"
