Hard to wacth

Height is a relative thing, depending upon the individual.  In my younger days I had no fear of height. I learned to focus on the work that needed to be done, ignored the distance to the ground and enjoyed the view.  I'm sure those guys are doing the same thing.  BTW, I'm still not afraid of height, but I can no longer make the climb. Getting old really sucks.

Um....... NO!!!!!!! :o

Im not scared of heights whatsoever.  I've got no issue with jumping out of a plane, hurtling to earth, then popping open a chute.

I sure as hell wouldn't do that.  Hope he's got a good shrink.

Not just HELL NO but HELL ******* NO! 

It seems to me that it would be easier and safer to just repel out of a helicopter to fix the stupid thing.

Climb up would be fun...the climb down...not so much....

I hope he is wearing a parachute.

I've never had any issue working at heights that could kill me. I have always said I'm just too dumb to worry about it, and once you get past the second floor, how high didn't matter. With that said, even in my younger crazier days I would not do that. About half way through the video I thought I was going to have to take a Dramamine for motion sickness.

That is another one of those jobs that make you appreciate the one you have.

But that's the thing...the camera was making it look worst than it probably really is.

Grimlin I'm sure you're right that the helmet cam bouncing around distorted how it looked compared to two eyes being processed by the brain. The free climbing, and the maneuvering at the top of the tower stretch the margin a little too much for me. You're probably right though, when I was young and bullet proof I would have done it. ::)

Yeah,I probably wouldn't be able to do it anymore now either....My age is up there and I'm steady gaining weight.I'm not as fit as i used to be anymore either.

It's just the camera bouncing around that's making people queasy.

With the tight OSHA regulations nowadays I'm surprise this is even legal.

I hate climbing the silo's at work and they're only 70 ft!  ;D

No way I'd be on that tower. No way.

This literally gave me the heebejeebies! You could not pay me enough to climb up that tower. As he was pulling himself up over the "ledge" I about shatted myself.

What ever those guys are being paid it's not nearly enough.

Gonna go throw up now!
