Tower climb

[AdamZ]

HOLY &^%$. Just watching this vid take off the red board made me squirm. The climber has some serious stones. They better get paid a ton to do what they do.

Imagine this on IMAX

I was fine... right up until he "went outside".

I was not able to make it through the video. YIKES!

That would be a good application for LED's

Probably much safer than GA....

Sign me up. Looks like fun, unless it's a cold day.

Yeah. That was no bag of tools.

 

[Telemakhos]

Man, that gave me the creeps. Maybe those guys aren't affected, or maybe they get some kind of rush from it (it must be exhilarating). I would have absolutely no desire to do it, though. I got all jelly-kneed just watching.

Cool. I disagree about some of the climbing safety discussion and the use of safety lines. There are devices that allow you to climb for a long time without disconnecting and reconnecting your safety lines.

Nice view at the top though. If that were my job by the time I got to the top it would be time to head back down to end the day, if I even got that high.

Cool!!! I'd give that a try - on a warm, calm day, with a partner and safety equipment.

No way.

Bummer, it's been taken down.

Video taken down for privacy reasons. By the time he got it off YouTube, there had been over 118,000 views. If the photo is a good facsimile, then thanks. I'm glad I missed it.
