You were right. I did feel the height and I'm terrified by heights. That was one of the scariest videos I've ever seen in my life. Thanks for posting it though.

The people who climb towers for a living must be fearless. I envy them.

I just couldn't do that.

I'd be taking a parachute with me for that height.

**** me!

:O That would be awesome!

I agree though that they should just take along parachutes and take the easy way back down. hehe

no thanks... lol

Jezebelle whimpers, but can't take her eyes off it.

I used to say I liked heights. I'm going to have to amend that now. That's Too High! And a parachute won't help you until you dive/glide far enough away from the tower to open it. Good luck getting far enough away while you still have time for the chute to open and do its job. It would have to be a small chute, like for basejumping. Do not want!

Suddenly the one hour drive to office does not feel so bad.

I knew a guy who did the same job. The regular days weren't so bad, he did not like it when they needed to change the transmission dishes. They had to be brought up the same way as the tool bag
