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.

Nice view.

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!!!!

So Ive climbed and rappelled cell towers. Those are 130-200 feet max. No tying in to anything because, well, of course i shouldn't be up on them, and I don't have the gear to tie in to their stuff.
As scary as hell as climbing up was, the worst part was at the end, going up to untie the rope when we were done rappelling for the night, because climbing down is about 100 times scarier because your body is in the way of your vision that is looking for the next hold and you're looking down the whole time. IOW, going up looked scary as hell in the video, but the feeling going back down would be worse.

I want to know how long it took them to climb.....and why are they are even climbing it? Seriously....isn't that a little too high for humans to be climbing?
Yay! Cigars!
