How to perform crate challenge?

Basically, the milk crates are arranged in an up-and-down stairway form where the highest number of crates are put in the middle. To perform the challenge, one has to start to ascend from the first crate and climb to the maximum height which consists of seven crates in the middle, and then balance on the crates while going down. Although many have made it to the topmost level yet there are many unfortunate individuals who have failed to step down properly, as it’s all downhill from there.
