ha.. screw that.. i don't think my muscles would function properly at those heights
i saw a tv (that's telly for you brits
)program a couple of years ago in which the antenna at the top needed replaced.. talk about one sketchy operation.. -
I got vertigo watching that, my arms are even tired for him.
Give me a base jump parachute and a million bucks and I'd still refuse you.
-
Damn. I could only watch till that box they showed not even at half time.
-
I honestly thought he was going to jump!
-
I think I am going to be sick and I have not finished watching it yet...
-
I know in the US the tops such towers are frequently accessed via helicopters, and the people who work at those heights get paid handsomely.
-
I have occasional bad days at work, which normally means I messed up a model or render and need to redo it, what's a bad day for him? death?
-
Worse, you get to the top and forget your tool bag
Ok not worse but it would suck. -
Okay, so you at top and you need the bathroom, what then?
-
Piss in the wind...

I've seen that video of climbing the tower before. I watched it again my my little boy. The palms of my hands are sweating from that.
-
That was a gut wrenching watch.....
-
Ouch.,.. I feel dizzy after having watched that video...

Not sure what would be enough for me...

Not sure I'd like that tower, either. At least it has stairs, though.
