Wow just wow!
I earped a little.
"Now we've reached the base of the antenna. From here it's just another 60 feet to the top!"
Really? Only 60 more feet till we get to see Jesus?
For f**k's sake... that's just scaridiculous... ::Blink::
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?
No way in HELL

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.
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...
:pukel:
My hands are all sweaty, my heart is in my throat, I'm dizzy...................REALLY!!!!!
That is fricken nuts. However, I wonder how crazy the guys that had to climb up to build it were. yikes.
I agree, totally nuts. I would have to be tethered AT ALL TIMES to do that. Even then...sheesh!Quote:

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.
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.Quote:
