Thumbs up Stairway to Heaven


Man, (and Ladies)check this out. Guy climbs to the top of a 17** foot tower. Are you afraid of heights? I found this on another forum. Performance Years. Anyway this is very scary and they aren't strapped on. Talk about earning your paycheck. Looks like cartoon at first but give it a second.

SuperSuper Amaz'in Vid 4-Sure
I loved `it
and thanks for sharing posting.
Stairway to Heaven

I love being `high and would love to climb that tower 4-Sure.
I'd be sacred, but it would be a blast to get to the top and
be able to see for 55 miles : )
I wonder what they get paid for doing that ?

It would be fun to have a parachute & jump `off the top
-WoW-
I've only sky dived a few times, but the plane took us `up : )
and it was a super `Life experience 4-Real...
I was scared then 2, but it was a super adrenaline `Pump
from jump'in out until the ground appeared.

On `No
Really enjoyed the `Vid & it was worth the time &
Experience (the safe way: )
Life is just Amaz'in
Yes, it was a great stairways towards a Human Heaven
EnJoy your Life `Journey...

I admire those that seek out those experience that let you
know that you are alive
Peace/Out
-The `End-

That's bizarre. I'm not generally afraid of heights, but I can't even imagine doing that.

tower climbers do fairly simple maintenance on towers and make big bucks. Some climbs take several hours up and back down. not to mention the weather and the sway of the tower no thanks i"ll just stay on the ground.

That is absolutely out of control... WOW... There is no way they are paid enough to do that... There is nothing you could offer me to take that hike... Except maybe a DE 2004 S/C with 10 miles on it, then maybe... lol...

Jeeeeeezz... that video was a nail biter! I think I crapped my pants watching. Thats nutty! The climb down would be even more treacherous! I'd rather parachute off. When he got to the top he started working not even holding on with his hands. And that safety hook he only used when resting was a joke!
