    F that. The 20 foot poles I climbed as a cable tech are as high as I'd ever like to go. I give huge credit to those tower climbers. That takes some set of balls to free climb that high up.

    There isn't enough money in the world to make that worth it to me.

    Default Nice view.

    Three words: No F***ing Way

    Did the narrator say “free climbing” the last 100 feet? Whatever his salary is, it is too little.

    Holy crap.

    I kept forgetting to breath watching this. I can't imagine doing it. Climbing inside was scary enough. That free climbing shit outside is CRAZY!!!!

    Showed this to my son, and even he started cringing. No chance, no way, not happening, nada.

    Oh yeah, I'd do it. I might cry a little, but they'd be man tears.
