Don't like heights ... look away now !

I could climb that. I'd a gibbering wreck by the time I got to the top though!

1768ft = 1/3mile - people complain about walking that distance to the bus stop

Where's the straw filled cart for the leap of faith?

Wow! a rare breed these antenna maintainers, nerves of steel or what? Must be a hefty amount of danger money as part of their income.

How much would someone get paid for doing this?

Not to diminish it too much but the video does say that you get an elevator ride to about 1600ft so you're climbing ~170ft, a fair distance but only 1/10th of the overall.

OK I feel sick now.

Could anyone here do that for £1million? I still couldn't. That free climbing nearer the top where there's no security is even more amazing.

I'd do it for nothing

I'd have to be harnessed though.

Firstly Id do that for a million quid.
Secondly I cant believe they go up without safety harnesses on.

Robosapien · 20 Mar 2011 at 17:01

My balls are tingling. I kinda like it?

For £1m I'd give it a bloody good go, but I'm messed up when harnessed at the gym with a matt underneath me so..

Does anyone know exactly what the pay is?

KaHn · 20 Mar 2011 at 17:05

I'd love to go up there just for ****'s and giggles

never ever, they have balls the size of mountains those guys. Cant believe what I just saw. Amazing.

AtreuS · 20 Mar 2011 at 17:12

The thought of heights doesnt actually scare me, my body just auto reacts and the top of my legs go all wobbly, just sort of back of my legs above the knees--- so not the best for climbing! i guess these guys just dont have that auto reaction so they can control the body at heights.

Just had this sent to me ... watch it to the end, hats off to the guys that have the stomach to do this, I'm not man enough for that job

I was holding onto my desk by the end ... I know, I'm a big girls blouse when it comes to heights

I genuinely got vertigo watching that, and had to actually look away a couple of times. I suck with heights.

Sod that

Even with safety equipment and a parachute, you can sod off with that

Exactly how I feel.

Lakeland · 20 Mar 2011 at 17:18

I'd do it if someone who knew what they were doing was with me, though I don't know why they don't just wear a parachute?

Guide wires I would assume, risk of hitting the tower as to fall down.

Yeah I remember this on OcUK from last year but it's still a fantastic video. I love my roller coasters, some with drops of over 200 feet, but I don't think I could hack this baby, mainly due to the safety (or lack of) of free climb. If I was in a lift or something, then no probs, and I like flying anyway.

Rich1988 · 20 Mar 2011 at 17:32

love to be able to parachute jump off that !

Cosimo · 20 Mar 2011 at 17:37

How about this nut job:

Cyclone · 20 Mar 2011 at 17:41
