One job I would never do no matter how much you paid me

Yeah, and I imagine those things sway quite a bit in the wind.

that job is more than likely safer than you driving to work everyday...just sayin...

[mk162]

so you have to drive to work, then climb up that thing.  So there are 2 unsafe activities.

I guess if  I could take a parachute it might actually be kinda cool! Finish the job and do a BASE jump!

Here's something I did with a parachute when I was young and crazy. (No climbing...This was from a hot air balloon...LOL)

Just watching the video makes me want to hang on to my desk so I don't fall. No thank you.

Oh hell no!

I have climbed a few towers In my youth, I had the perfect build for it. Tho I never climbed any where near that height ugh! Mostly self supported towers and shorter guided towers. I can promise you it is swaying up there, also they at least got a partial ride up in the internal elevator not all guided towers have elevators.

All that to change a light bulb!

Makes me nauseous just watching it!

I've climbed up some comm towers near where I grew up but they were only 500 ft. or so.  I would be just fine until that last 60 feet, then I might start puckering up a little bit.  I'd much rather parachute off that thing rather than climb down it, getting down is the hard part.

I worked at an MMDS video provider in the 90's, I put up a ton of 1-2 hundred foot towers all over northeast ohio the highest I climbed was 1250 feet in Parma Ohio. Its not all that bad unless its cold, then it really sucks. I came off once, I was only 15 feet up lost my footing while free climbing, ruptured 4 discs cracked 1 vertebra and blew out my knee I was just high enough to get hurt. When I first started I was on a small 11 inch face tower @ 75 feet when our guy wires fell into power, I woke up hanging from my belt arms killing me my mouth tasted like I ate a bunch of pennies and I had a couple burns on my hands and foot where the power blew through my boot. Those were the only two issues I ever had in 8 years of doing it. Most the stuff I did were the small 11-14 inch face towers 1-2 hundred feet, they were bad because you free climbed till you got to the equipment most the bigger stuff had the fall lines and cages. I dont think my knees or hands could handle it now I was pretty buff then lol.

That is crazy stuff.  When that guy got to the top he was screwing around with his carabiner and wasn't hanging on to anything.  WTF?  No way in hell could I do that.
