What a job..

solo

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.

Gaieus

Damn. I could only watch till that box they showed not even at half time.

tfdesign

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.

solo

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?

boofredlay

Worse, you get to the top and forget your tool bag
Ok not worse but it would suck.

solo

Okay, so you at top and you need the bathroom, what then?

Gaieus

Piss in the wind...

What the heck do you do when there is lightning?

Lightning gives me the willies!

here's the show i mentioned earlier (not the full episode)

replacing a 7,000 lb antenna on top of a 2000 ft tower (610meters)

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.

Marian

That was a gut wrenching watch.....

Frederik

Ouch.,.. I feel dizzy after having watched that video...

...and the people who work at those heights get paid handsomely.

Not sure what would be enough for me...

Frederik

Came to think of this image...

Dave R

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

Pixero

Definitly NOT a job for me.
My hand are all sweaty and my fingers and feet hurt just by watching.
I wonder why?

The worst part was near the top when he just held with one hand.

Why not use a parachute for the way down?
