#217313 ha!

I love heights :) that feeling when you look down and realize just how high you are ... what a rush.

One thing though ... i like how he only used his safety tether when he stopped to rest lol.

#217316 The whole time he was climbing, and not using a safety line i coudln't help but think, one gust of wind and he's gone... at that height it's gotta be fucking windy as hell too....

if i had that job i'd demand a parachute, the extra weight would suck, but if you fell... at least you'd live

#217331 If I remember correctly most companies actually require a chute if your working above a certain level.

remember seeing something about it on discovery channel lol

#217348 was thinking the same thing about the no safety line. I mean, what if he/she got major leg cramp. that will suck bad at that height.

#217353 yeah ive seen similar to this on discovery or somthing once too. Half the video he is climbing areas that dont even look like they tried to make it and easier. "Oh, i know...lets put the next ladder on the other side, over a big gap with no foot spacing." How much height would they have lost just by making it a little safer..seriously..and its terrible that techs are so much cheaper than a couple extre hand/foot holds. I would not do this unless i got like 7 figs every climb.
