This made my knees shake just watching the video.

OK, I don't mind heights ...but I could only get 5/8's thru that!

There ain't enough pencils in my protector for that!
 
Just think about the folks who erected the tower. I used to be able to do high work, before fire school, where the 3 story ladder I was on kicked out and dumped me on to the concrete floor. Some thing in my mind has changed forever.
 
I have taken the elevator to the 990 foot level of Baltimore's candelabra tower, then had to take a 1 foot step over to the platform. Longest foot I've ever walked!!! Only did that once. (Twice actually, had to come back down) That video shows a job worth every dollar paid, and then some.
 
That's against all my instinct and training. I hate even getting on the roof of the hovel to blow off the windfall. I want an airframe around me.
 
That gave me a pucker and a half.
 
Kelly saw it and said it made her feel sick.

I would imagine the decent would be worse.
 
Wow that is a cool video, and an amazing view from on top of that tower. Not sure I'd want to climb up there, makes me appreciate those little blinking lights more.
 
those guys have NO nerves. It used to bother me climbing the mast on the ship to change a bulb esp in a rolling swell 'cause I would think if I fell now I would land on the deck and be killed and when she rolled if I fell I would land in the north atlantic and be lost at sea (some choice, so believe me I hung on tight)
 
I'll walk top plate three stories high, my hands, feet, and I have a really great working relationship....I dunno bout that tower, theres nothing wrong with digging ditches.
 
Great video. I'm still crawling on the floor, clutching chair legs.

Reminds me of the Camino del Rey videos:

Whoa Nellie. But then I have trouble viewing "Lunch on a Skyscraper" and that's just a still.
 
In my yout, I climbed a 300' radio tower to get a shot of the antenna array in Warin, Thailand. Scared me &*^%less. Apparently the facility is gone there .

Gotta find those negs. I'd puke at the thought of doing that now.
