What a job..
-
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...
-
#2?

What the heck do you do when there is lightning?
Lightning gives me the willies!

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.
-
That was a gut wrenching watch.....
-
Ouch.,.. I feel dizzy after having watched that video...

Not sure what would be enough for me...
-
Came to think of this image...
-
Not sure I'd like that tower, either. At least it has stairs, though.
-
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?
-
Some people do this sort of thing for fun.
I knew a guy about 20 years ago who would climb the antenna towers around Madison, Wisconsin. He did it without any safety gear and he would do it at night. He'd carry a stuffed animal with him and tie it to the tower near the top so when a worker went up to service the beacon or whatever, they'd find it. I lost track of him. I wonder if he got a job climbing them or what.
Then there are these Russian kids.
