Not a big fan of heights, couldnt even get a few minutes in. That shit made me nauseous just watching it.

They have safety lines, but choose not to use them 'much' as it slows them down.

Fuck that.

The closer to the end of the video it gets, the harder it is to watch.
At the very tip of the tower, just standing on top, with just that one pole to hold onto......how many times would you have to do that shit before you became confident ?

FUCK THAT!

As a comment pointed out, imagine the swaying at the top @_@

Bet they make some bucks though.

Be alright if you could base jump off the mother fucker to get back down again. Gets your adrenaline going just watching the last part.

Even so it goes in the great big fuck that for a job basket

Yikes!

I'd need to wear a nappy going up there I think... and perhaps a parachute too. These guys got balls of steel I reckon.

lol theres no reason why they couldnt run a line from the top of the tower and attach themselves to it with one of those grips that runs freely over rope but then locks up if you fall

I'm not too bad with heights (I have star jumped off a 60m cliff in the past) but a few times in that video the climber seems way too relaxed and I cringed waiting for him to fall!

fuck that.
a job for gilbert grape for sure.

i had to climb RF towers on drilling boats and a semi-sub a couple of times to mount new gear,
only ~200ft at the top but still wasnt a great feeling, worse on the ship in 4m swells.
the $1450/day made it somewhat better though.
