Day-um.
I have no trouble on a mountain, but watching that made me woozie. Imagine the down-climb... |

Heh, and i thought being a 115 feet in a aerial lift all day was scary.
But this? Oh hell no. My hands are sweating just looking at this video, and getting that sickly butterfly feeling in my gut. Hell no... These...  The pair i have, is way too small for this kind of work. Anyone who does this work, has a pair of brass balls so large, it takes a 10 ton dump truck to move them around. |

Now imagine reaching the top to realize you left your spanner behind... |

I used to skydive and I'm not particulary afraid of heights but that video put butterflies in my stomach. There is no way in hell I would get on that tower without rig on my back. On the other hand, with parachute.... hmm... I've always wanted to try BASE jumping.

You guys are a bunch of negative nancys. Those guys pull down 6 figures and only work maybe half the year.

The thing that bugs me the most, is most of the time, your completely unattached. One slip, or lost grip, and you probably have 10 to 15 seconds to think about how badly you just F'ed up before you suffer a terminal case of decelleration trauma. Noooooo thank you..... |

Respect I can never do that
 Can you imagine if it started raining when you're out in the open that would make slippery climbing up and down not to mention the cold. Just listening to the wind blowing at such height is already terrifying. Dangerous business.
