You think your job is hard?
 

Try climbing every day to your worksite. 1600 feet in the air.

I can't watch that.

Yeah. I think I'd shit myself before I got to the top of that.

OK, how about this one?

Yeeeaaahhh...and by that I mean no ****ing way. There was one place where the dude didn't seem sure what to grab on to...and no safety lines...and those pegs he's using to climb the last section...just **** no.

The topic thread video is great. Thanks for posting that!

Holy crap. What could he possibly be fixing that is worth all that?

That job would have to pay close to 7 figures. Right?

I wouldn't go up there for 10million.

I left for 2 damn years and I know this is a repost. But I'd do the job. As long as I'm connected to the ground I'm ok.

wicked!! sign me up.

We used to climb them for fun. The worst part is that once you get to the top it's caked with slippery, stinky bird shit.

Talk to Sec......hims on vacation though.

I couldn't imagine hauling my desk all the way up there. This thing is huge.

And man is it windy up there. Papers would fly everywhere.

A lot of the time it's lightbulb replacement so airplanes don't fly into the towers. I have a friend who used to do that stuff.

I have this friend, well i had this friend.

No, I really don't.

My next door neighbor was an electrician who took a header off a 180 tower. His climbing partner heard him say "Oh Fuc*" and looked up in time to see him miss hooking up his safety line and go over backwards. He was still alive when his partner got to the ground but didn't last until the ambulance got there.

That makes my stomach churn just watching the video. No way!

How did the three dudes get on top of that structure in the other video?

Screw connected to the ground. I want connected to the pole.
