    My goodness. Really makes me look like a pansy that I don't feel comfortable in a hang on stand at 20'!:o

    These guys must also really be in shape. That takes a lot of energy to climb that far.

    I had to wipe my hands on my pants at least 5 times while watching.

    And to think my company requires us to tie off if we get higher than 6 feet :lol:

    I'm not gonna say that it wouldn't have my heart pumping, but as long as I'm tied off it looks like good, clean, horrific fun.

    Oh man!!! The straight climbing wasn't too bad to watch, but the trasition points were really freaky to watch!

    I change the FAA required light on top of our 210 ft bell tower. Each time I have to do it my butt is sore the next day from it trying to bite the tower roof for a bit of extra grip. I don't think I could climb that high.

    What is funny about this (and I agree).... is really what is the differenence between 210' and 2000'? If you fall, the result is going to be the same. :evilgrin:
