Forget the 30 lb tool bag, what about the 2 huge steel balls they have to drag along with them.

Ya know Erik... I thought I'd seen this somewhere! It must have been your post!

I don't have any pull around here buddy --- I'm just on here 24/7....

Dang,

what a rush! I have walked many of walls building houses....walking a 2x4 wall on a 2 story house with a walk out basement over looking the lake is about as close as I have come to anything like this. Its maybe 30-35 feet if you were to fall. Im not scared of heights, but 100k a year wouldnt get me up there on that tower....

My stomach sank and I went flush as soon as they cut to him being on the tower. I found it very hard to watch. I guess you might say I have a fear of heights.

I think Id rather jump out of a plane than climb that thing.

Thanks a lot. I think this video might be incorporated into a dream somehow.

The video won't load on my iPhone, but I'm assuming it is of the guy climbing the monster radio tower?

I was roofing a technology building under a 1,900' tower here a few years ago and they were installing a new "antenna" about 3/4 the way up and it absolutely blew my mind watching them!! They used the elevator thingy just the first time the set up thier "lift" and used theirs the rest of the time. Did I mention that theirs was hanging off the side and went up with a cable!!! Off the side!!! They had a anchor man below with a rope of some sort to keep them from swinging in the wind too bad. But they still swung about 20-30 feet away from the side of the tower!! Those guys told me than they didn't make that much money. Just like $20/hour, which IMO is NOWHERE near enough for me!!! LOL.
I've also heard some crazy stories about icicles falling off those things and going THRU cars and trucks parked below! I know that one fell here a few years ago because of ice buildup and it melted off one side quicker than the other and got it off balance. Would have been crazy to see go down!
