I wonder how much these guys get paid. I am not sure you could pay me enough.

Holy crap.  And I thought derrick men were idiots.   :blink:

What gets me is that the metal he is clipping into is probably some sort of aluminum alloy?  I am no engineer - maybe Sani can answer this one about metal - but I would think you would want a tower that tall for that purpose to be as light as possible - and so if he is clipping into a lightweight material, how secure is he REALLY?  Esp since that once he gets to the top, the rungs are open-ended - that hook could slip right off if the wind caught him right.

No freaking way.

Yeah. At about the 1:45 mark, this is where they will need a rescue team to pull my shit-stained, death-gripped body from the tower.

And wouldn't it be easier if these guys just parachuted back down?

Anyway you cut it that's bat shit crazy. 

On the plus side I bet they don't ever get any OSHA visits.

Well, no need for exercise today.  My heart rate has successfully been increased.

I don't even like climbing a ladder to get on my roof.

I was up on a 35 foot extension ladder 2 weeks ago and got to the top thinking..."this is pretty fucking high up"....I can't imagine 1700 feet.

Damn,  I worked out of a crane basket on a job one time on a flare that was 300 ft and I thought that was high.  If you've ever rode in a 120 foot manlift stretched all the way out that is worse in my opinion, but there is no way in hell I could do that job.  I'd have to have a parachute attached to my back.
