Default What a job!

Been a quiet loiterer for a while, but saw this vid recently and just had to share it with the org.

YouTube Video
Error: If you cannot see this video, then either YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed to play it.


Balls of steel. Hats off to the guys that do this job. I love heights, though looking at some of those corners, the climb down would freak me out way more

(not a Hitler I hope).

I'd do it.

Once you get high enough it doesn't really feel high anyway. It's mid level height on a hangover that's bad.

Seen it once before, but my god that is scary! Couldn't do that job for any money.

I do climbing and I had a couple of bungee jumps (3 so far) plus a jump off of the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas (855 feet, so about half the height of the tower being climbed in this video), which was not free fall, but guided descent.

I watched this video and thought OMFG!! OMFG!!! they're doing free climbing most of the way (they only hook up to rest) because hey, it's faster that way!! Insane! I wouldn't do it without hooking up. No way, hose!

I have seen that one before and also felt sick - so I'm not going to watch it again!
