Yeah, that's a job I'd pass on. I'm not scared of heights, but one slip without that line attached and it's over.

 

Awesome job. I'd do it.

 

my palms were sweaty just watching that. no way in hell!!

 

I'd do it with a parachute hell I'd jump off with a parachute just for fun

 

I'm not really afraid of heights but.... Holy ****

 

I've climbed a few small towers (crank-up's), but nothing that tall. Nor will I ever.

Here's a view looking down from the Empire State Building. The antenna they are working on is for Channel 4 (WNBC) facing New Jersey.

 

I used to string wire for a friend that had a security agency and we would crawl around in false ceilings to route wire. After working for about an hour on one job I put my foot through the ceiling tile below me and realized I was 20 feet above the floor. That made a terrible mess in my shorts. But that's nothing like these pole climbers. I bet their ins. premiums are sky high also

 

No friggin' way. That pic at the top of the Empire State gives me the *******.

 

Holly crap I would never be able to climb anything close to that people are crazy

 

I have trouble climbing a 24' extension ladder. Hats off to those guys

 

**** that, no way in heck would I do that. I'm not afraid of heights on roller coasters but after 30+ feet of unsupported height I hate to look down, kudos to these guys but I'm not that crazy

 

I worked for NES Power for about 2 years and would to routine maintinence on residential power lines... 60 foot or so and hated the tought of looking down or falling from up there lol! These guys must have a screw loose!

 

Thats a tall ladder.

 

I'd pass out
