Climbing a 1700 foot tower.

I got vertigo just watching this!




TVKim- Watching: Kim's Picks- Climbing a 1,700 foot tower for work

I couldn't even watch it all the way through!

Amazing - so now we know how many tower climbers it takes to change a light bulb. Just think - lots of folks would love to jump off from the top with a chute.



That guy on Build it Bigger gets pretty high.

When I was a senior in high school and had the teenaged bravado, a couple of us climbed the TBS tower in midtown Atlanta. It was 1,031 feet tall. We made about 2/3 of the way before we all thought better of it and went back down. It was amazing how much it swayed in the wind...

1700 feet. wow. made me very nervous/queasy to watch!!! "in a storm, there is no quick way down"... yikes.

The best we ever did as kids was a water tower in Tallahassee. The really scary part was that you had to climb vertically under the tank.

There was a place outside of Tallahassee called "Dog Lake Tower". It was an old, abandoned fire ranger tower. We would climb it, catch a buzz, and watch the planes land at the airport. Damn good times.

We used to park at the end of the runway and watch them fly over. The pot just killed time between flights since there were only about 10 a day.

Holy crap. I got about 3 minutes in and had to take a break. My heart was racing...not sure I've ever had that happen because of a video before!

Had to quit watching when they kept focusing the camera straight down to the ground. BTW, hey NoHall, long time no see, or hear I should say.

I've climbed a water tower similar to this, all the way up to the top of the dome.

Now I know why cell phone coverage is expensive, I hope they pay these guys very well.
