Gemini Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I have to post this video from youtube. This video blew my mind.... I could never imagine doing this for a living. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQv-o5Kgbko Keep in mind the video is being taken off the internet so you might have to just search "Stairway to Heaven (Climbing Towers) " in youtube. Its nothing gross or stupid and is most definitely worth a watch. Lets hear some feed back on how much someone would have to pay you to do this! PS. Watch it from start to finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Trevor1 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I would be able to get up to the last 60ft as that last poll ladder did not look all that strong to me, might of just been the way the camera was moving around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I climbed trees a couple times... it was pretty high lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeggle Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I've done radio towers and that's as high as I ever want to go, actually higher but its already done. I sure hope they use long life light bulbs up there, hate to have to make that climb regularly just to change a light bulb. Can you imagine that help wanted add. Skill set: Ability to screw in a light bulb Zero regard or concern for the laws of gravity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamnp Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 the insiders trick though is you don't really climb these towers; I've gone up WCTX TV 26 tower here in CT, which is around 1600ft and I've climbed hundreds of cellphone towers as well for inspections. The larger towers though have a seat apparatus attached to a winch that pulls you the majority of the way up to a landing deck, at which point you can climb to whichever level platform you are working on. The shit your pants part is how much those things sway up there. Tower crane operators got it worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the kind of job i would try for some while just to get the adrenaline rush but my first concern would be "what do i do if i need to go to the toilet NOW" lol Do they give you a parachute just in case? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
