Really? Only 60 more feet till we get to see Jesus?
For f**k's sake... that's just scaridiculous...

You couldn't pay me enough.
Can't see it at work, but based on the comments, I'm guessing this is the guy changing the light on the radio tower?

Talk about last week!
EF THAT!!! i hate it when my friends lift me all the way up on car lifts while working on cars, i wouldnt do this if you could give me 50 billion dollars everytime i went up there
That was giving me vertigo just watching it. Bet they are in half way decent shape though. And also think that tower is swaying back a forth A LOT. It isn't always sitting still.

I get tired climbing my 72 ft. tower. No way could I, or would I, climb that tower without a place to stop, have lunch and take a nap. And, I don't even free climb my little tower.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

I painted lift towers for Copper Mountain Ski Area over the summers, and standing on swaying towers at 80 ft is still hair raising. I could not imagine at that height. No thanks...
I use to worry about money; but then realized I don't HAVE anything to worry about.

That is fricken nuts. However, I wonder how crazy the guys that had to climb up to build it were. yikes.
I drive to fast to worry about my cholesterol.
I agree, totally nuts. I would have to be tethered AT ALL TIMES to do that. Even then...sheesh!
As for the builders, don't you suppose they built it in sections and either stood it up or lifted it into place? Not that I *actually* have a clue, mind you.
Ahh...it has finally landed here...I started this going around my office last week. So far only one person has said it wouldn't be an issue...but is totally against proving he wouldn't have any issues by getting permission to climb the ones in Duncanville. Go figure.
Wealth, power, and experience are apparently not enough to save us from social influences. Groupthink, as described by I.L.Janis, is the tendency for group members to reach a consensus opinion, even if that decision is downright stupid (Janis 1982).
We pay a mint to the guys that climb our Cedar Hill towers... some 1600+ feet.
I still haven't come up with the figure I would demand....I don't think Bill Gates has enough money to get me up there.
