Not me... If I want to get that high I'll just go to the local airport and rent a cessna...

:sign yeah that:

 

Getting down should be easy, Just take one step to the left......

It is only the last 6 inches that hurt a little.....

At least he has an elevator up to the last 100 and something feet. Ours was only about 700 feet but no elevator at all. There were several times when I would get to the top, troubleshoot the situation and then have to go back down and then return with the parts that I needed. It was honestly a lot of fun when you got to the top though. You could see for miles around.

Hey Freebird did you ever fall out of a tree on to your head....LOL:whistling:

i used to routinely climb 2 to 300 feet, working in the refineries.

legs and lungs finally said ENOUGH!

now i don't even like climbing a ladder.i couldn't watch it all, either!

just jt:scorched:

I made myself watch til the end. Unfortunately my testicles are still trying to climb as high up inside my body as possible. I don't know how much they pay those guys but its not enough.

I used to climb the light poles on top of the football stadiums when I was younger. Not nearly that high but, it was breath taking and physical. Paid great Quintuple comp time.

Say, how long after a misstep, would the trip to the ground take? Just wondering how much time a person would have to ponder stuff. I can't be the only person who is thinking this.

S.W.A.G. = 12 to 15 seconds???

I agree, not a great job for those who are afraid of heights . One of my first worries up there may be, where do I go to have a dump when you have to go right now? Although, that may be a really bad thing for the guy below me.

I think a base jumper would be the perfect person for the job and he gets paid for it.

S.W.A.G = Ponder Time ? Maximum Velocity

I couldn't stop myself from watching it all, but it made my stomach hurt... Oh man !

[GlennTuc]

I couldn't do it for one-million dollars a climb. My mind just would not let me do it. I would freeze up and couldn't move.
