    Tower climber video, I would like to try this!



    I mean, it looks pretty safe if you are not stupid (aka 2 hands OFF the tower).

    I'm guessing he isn't strapped on to anything, so if he falls it's game over.

    You are right, I mean he takes breaks and then he attaches his hook to a piece of metal, but other then that... no.

    The dude commenting on it even says it :P It's called free climbing.

    I'm not afraid of heights or anything, but fuck that.

    It looks fun as hell. I wouldn't do it though. Getting back down would be hellish, not a single real break the whole way up or down, unless you count standing on the very top. Looks brutal.
    There are so many frivolous things in this world.

    To each his own. Honestly it looks pretty boring to me.. like climbing a really high ladder. I've never been one to climb ladders for fun. Wouldn't sky diving be more fun? Me thinks yes.

    Would do it for as low as 50.000$ but no way for what that guy is paid for his job. It's one of those jobs that you do because you enjoy them, and looking at that video, he is very cautious. You might have more chances of dying by walking on the street than on his job, provided you have some resilient stamina and good arms/legs.

    I'd sooner starve to death I'm afraid.

    Getting down would be worse.

    i guess you didn't watch the video since the narration even says " its good to take a break " as the guy takes a break. But no i wouldn't be able to do that :/
