For that pay, yep.
What do they make? Do they even clear six figures? It honestly doesn't look too bad. I'd be a bit nervous and slow moving the first week, but after that it would be no issue.

Also, watch some videos of the window cleaner crews in NYC and Chicago cleaning the top half of the buildings windows. Terrifying. One had a malfunction and was hanging by one side and the workers were stuck holding on to the metal beams around their little platform for like an hour plus dangling like 80 stories. frick THAT.

Not me. When I was younger I felt comfortable in a tree or tall ladder or in a lift. Can’t feel comfortable at heights as I aged although I did recently zip line a quarter mile long, 300 foot high line on Scaly Mountain, NC. And, this past June hiked the Grand Canyon. I will say I did feel uncomfortable on the hike at times because……..no harness, just cliff walls. Yikes

I have little fear of heights but my balance isn't the greatest, not to mention I'm blind as a bat with zero depth perception. I'm staying down here on the ground, thanks.

I have two cousins who are/were ironworkers in Houston. The pics one of them has posted freak me out! Not enough money in the world.

Fun fact: a lot of the ironworkers who built the 20th century NYC skyscrapers were Mohawk Indians from upstate NY. Not showing fear of heights was part of the warrior mentality ingrained in them from an early age.

My balls aren't that big.

Not for me, but I am curious what kind of money the market pays for someone willing to take those risk.

Its a no for me. Climbing 125 feet to the crown on a drilling rig was high enough.
