antenna worker

[siLversLeigh]

I've been climbing/cutting trees for nearly 10yrs now, thought I wasn't afraid of heights. Guessing I was wrong, there is no way I could do this.

HOLY SHIT...... My palms got sweety just watching him go up. I bet going down Is even more fun !

 

[BB71Mopar]

I couldnt watch the whole thing. I was getting sick...:barf:

free climb= nerves of steel...

 

[MentalMisfit]

no way I could even ride the elevator up halfway let alone climb it. I think I'd have to bring a parachute and base jump off the top I'd never be able to climb down.

That would scare the living shit out of me !

not working

The elevator ride wont be bad, but when your out and free to climb I think my legs would be shaking like hell.

when he gets to the base of the actual antenna.... then straddles it and kind of hops into place..... that shit would make me a little tense...

I got a buddy who grew up logging and climbing and trimming trees. He now travels the country climbing those towers. I could never do anything like that, thats nuts

 

[mustangjoe87]

Wow, atleast if you fall you have plenty of time to say your prayers

I free climbed a 25 foot fixed ladder on top of a twelve story building, and I thought that was nerve wracking. While I don't mind heights, that video is just scary. Couldn't pay me enough for a risky job like that!

F that

Honestly, Why wouldn't he have a parachust strapped on his back? even if you fall from the 1600 foot spot I would have to think you would have pleanty of time to get yourself straightend out and deploy. It's at least worth a shot over certin death don't ya think?

WOW. I can't get up on a roof 1 story high. Yeesh. Wonder if that tower is swaying in the wind as well. I give that guy credit, he's got balls.
