He said: “The crane was covered in grease I couldn’t even see. I had four close calls.
“But it was worth the risk.”
The skyscraper is next to the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
Adam said: “I put a hard hat on to blend in whilst walking past 100 workers and slipped out the back gate without being noticed.
“Climbing up the jib, I quickly realised the whole crane was covered in grease that I couldn’t even see.
“My feet and hands were slipping on everything I touched.”
Adam calmly moved around the crane even though nothing would save him if he slipped.
He added: “Hanging off things doesn’t feel like much.”
