I've known a couple of radio tower climbers over the years and they are indeed an odd lot. This guy however (and his partner) must be completely insane. The money is okay I guess... most of those guys get paid by the foot. The guys I knew averaged $150 per ft climbed. I would bet these guys would exceed that rate.
I'd also imagine that their life insurance premiums are through the roof if they can even get it for work related deaths. One upside though would be that if they did fall burial would be easy since they would probably end up well below six feet upon impact.
Still, God bless 'em for the effort.
