They have an elevator that takes them up to a little over 1600' but the last couple hundred they still have to climb. I sure as heck could not do it and would not want to. My heart was racing yesterday when I first saw it and my hands were just as sweaty. It is definitely not for everyone
For those that haven't seen it yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dae7DdfJ1ts Hurry up, looks like they're pulling all of the copies.
Man I thought yall were kidding, my palms are sweating right now. I thought it was funny that they had on helmets...fell 1768 feet today and because I had on my OSHA regulated helmet I am here to tell about it. What do those guys make a year? I hit my 20 pull rope and pucker up, I would guess they do not.
