Just of think of all the balls you have to work up to climb that. And then realize you have to go back down.

I'm proud of myself for watching it to the end.

At the top, there are no Russian women.
If they fall, they don't have to deal with Russian women.

Win/win.

There's an glass walk way on the other tall building in the picture. The one that looks like a bottle opener. I somehow mustered up enough balls to go on it.

Insane but I am jealous. One day I would like to sky dive. Until then, I can't even dream of having adrenaline like that. Good for them. You only live twice.

Absolutely insane. The wind has to be strong up there and they are trusting everything is bolted in and secure. Crazy.

Nah bro that is Shanghai.

The other building (like other poster said looks like a bottle opener) is the Shanghai World Financial Center. No buildings in Germany are this tall. Hell, the only one taller is the Burj Khalifa (spell?).

i think the thing that i think about the most is, if you HAPPEN to fall, you have a LOOOONG way down to just think about life and how stupid you are for climbing a 2000+ ft building....

At a freefall speed of 32 ft/second it would take more than a minute to hit the ground from 2000 feet high!!

I've had to climb a crane with a summer job a long time ago, tethered, and nowhere near that high. I get cramps in my feet watching that crap.
