Only 1500 feet, not so bad.
With drone footage

On the list of jobs that I would like to have, that one falls right at the bottom. I would rather clean toilets with a q-tip.

Never has the Randy Jackson meme been more appropriate.

I know with the double safety lines, he is very safe.

But I could never do that.

I wonder how much money that guy makes.

I hate heights, but I would rather do that than be on my roof TBH


I have a very odd fear of heights. If I have something I can grab with my hands, doesn’t bother me too much

I don't need to watch the video. I get tingle taint just looking at the picture.

My buddy is a climber for Mastec on the tall lattice structures (500'-1000').

Has to travel 8mo out of the year, so the pay is skewed by per diem, but he makes around $135k a year. Not bad scratch if the heights don't bother you

There’s a big tower down river my friend and I climbed, has to be close to 1000’. Scary shite up top.

That looks like fun.

I'd be gassed 1/4 of the way up, but it looks like fun.

Stumbled on another video where woodpeckers filled an antenna with acorns. Over 300lbs of acorn were locked inside

Yeah, but most jobs don't have dire consequences for 1 frick-up.

Misspell a client's name on an email? Embarrassing, but nobody dies a violent death as a direct result.

I bet they only do that in calm winds because that fricker would be swaying if it was windy. I'd lose my shite anyway.

In theory it's no different than a stepladder if your climbing rig is in good order.
