Not for all the money in the world!

Lmao at the commentary about the weather clouds.
"If bad weather hits theres no quick way down".... eh I think there is mate!!Would love to do a job like that, talk about freedom.
Can you imagine what the winds like up there!!

It's the moment he's standing on top and lets go with both hands to attach the clip that gets me

Presumably the hemet keeps your head clean when the guy up ahead pisses his pants, or worse.
I wonder how much the tower sways at the top.

Ive climbed all the 1000ft ones over here...
Its not actually that bad.
They do sway around abit..
This is me, about half that height, fixing the AWL...

yep letting go to stand up and clip on at the top is definitely the "had to look away" moment!
I bet the bloody thing wobbles like hell too.
That's my idea of hell.

I would be up there and my hand would slip on a rung or something, and I'd get that massive rush of adrenaline, then I would just hug the pole and not move until they lowered the pole with me attached to it to the ground.

I wonder what his nightmares are about.
I wasn't keen on the bit where he fumbled for his handhold at 4:15
Posted 1 year ago # -
Hahah! Was thinking yeah wow he's in a cage so what. Oh wait!
That's some height for sure, don't they use a native American of a certain tribe for jobs like this who naturally have no fear of height?
Hmm that could be one of those myths though.

That bit at the top!!
I presume when he is clipping on to the top he is attached to the chap below??
So what is a guided tower as when i google it comes up with tours for the tower of london.

Sweaty palms watching that!
Do you think he has a G-shock watch so it won't break if he falls off?

I can't watch the video at work but I'm getting the impression that it makes me like a bit of a wuss pooing myself on the roof fixing ridge tiles at the weekend.

I'm sat on my office chair feeling rather dizzy...
not for all the bike bling in the world could I do that - I felt odd enough when standing in the Space Deck on the CN tower....Posted 1 year ago # -
What kind of sick designer makes the ladders harder to climb the higher you get?

If i were to get into that type of work - i think i would get into Base jumping, Going up would be the easy bit. When you are done, just turn around, unclip and you can be having your sandwiches which you left in the van in 30 odd seconds!

marionheck thats what i started thinking, i was looking at the options of where i could get away with doing it on sites. probably a good job i moved jobs lol
i got stuck up one in scotland for what seemed like ages i was in a tshirt and out of nowhere a big hailstone storm started so i just clipped on and tried to shelter behind the dish id just put up til it calmed down. all good fun
