All the Hams that are into HF are drooling I'm sure.  I'm not sure it's the worst job... sewers are pretty nasty once commissioned and need repairing.

i climb towers here in canada 300 - 700 footers .. and safety is the only way you climb

these guys that are free climbing like that are brave mother F-ers

i wouldnt have an issue going to that height but i would be tied in every second of the way


and at that height i would bring a shute and jump at the end of the day       i would jump our 300 footers out here if the WCB wouldnt have a fit

I was thinking the same thing....I would only free climb at that height if I had a parachute.....but even then, if you slip the chute won't save you if you're too close to the tower  :o

I was amazed at how enthused buddy is.

I can imagine you'd be tired after that.  An 84m windmill was enough for me.

I just wish I hadn't found out a few years ago that those pics were actually staged.   :(

LOL...I can think of many worse jobs (most of what is shown on Dirty Jobs comes to mind). That looks like a blast, although I have to agree that I'd be tied in every chance I could. Alot of those towers have a built in vertical life line that attaches to the harness and allows movement upwards without the need to tie or clip in every so often.

Here's a shot of one of the advanced high angle rescue classes I did a while ago. It was a blast. Only about 100' up and 75' from each side....upside down on a tandem high line setup. I'd do it again in a heart beat!  :D
