Kinda idiotic to risk your life when they could just do this?
and hang from a secure rope to repair whatever needs repairs... |

Man, I could not have said it better!!! There is just NO WAY I would do that job. Talk about huge cajones! I just wanted to be listed as a beneficiary on his life insurance policy.

Anyone notice the safety clips just hang over the rungs and could easily slip off the edge?

Holy moly! I'm still hyperventilating and I read this whole thread after watching only half of the video.
To the dudes that do that every day. I need a drink. |

Commits weekly crime
|
I used to sail and go to the top of masts while sailing to work on halyards, though climbing to the top of a radio tower like that is FAR higher than any mast I've been on.
Still, being at the top of a 70' mast when doing Transpac (Los Angeles to Hawaii) out in the middle of no-where was quite interesting. Climbing a tower like that without the safety cables, though...ballsy!
