    I guess you missed the part at the end when he fell off. :(

      What kind of personality type does it take to climb that??? I know it's just a video, but parts of that literally made me cringe. I realize there have to be guys to do this, but wow. Talk about hazard pay.

          It's funny. I know I would freak out if I had to climb that tower, but it didn't really bother me watching it. I thought it was really interesting. The part where he had to hoist himself to the top at the very end did make me cringe a little, I must admit.

            I'm surprised the guy is wearing gloves.

                I'd do that job for a million dollars an hour. Then after a week's work, I'd retire. If I didn't fall to my doom.

                  I'm not afraid of heights and watching this does nothing to me, but you couldn't pay me enough money to climb that tower

                    Darn, looks like it was taken down due to a copyright claim.

                      That's weird. The thing spread like wildfire on the internet today. These were the originators, they took it down because it reflects badly on the industry? Stupid...

                          Yikes!

                          The lower two-thirds of my body feel like spaghetti right now.
