I'd rather climb that tower then ride this trail......

I've never been afraid of heights as long as what I am on feels secure.

[bobs66440]

Holy friggin crap! That's insane!! Why would you do that?? 

[Cooter]

And now we know who owns all the super rare, Hemi wing cars, Corvettes, Vipers, exotic "Worlds Fastest car", etc.


Those dudes make bank!

Sick, isn't it?  

Someone else once posted a video of some narrow trail that ran along a cliff. I think this is it, El Camino del Rey.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmDhRvvs5Xw

The trail looks like it's held together on the cliff edge with tape & string.  

I'd love to hike a trail like this, but not the way this one looks.

Yep i remember i think it was natcho telling us about this place.  I saved a picture of it.

It is a cool video.  I believe it has been posted here a few times over the last couple years.

[RECHRGD]

I couldn't do it.  Just watching the video moves my balls up under my throat.  I was in the electrical industry my whole career, but could never do the high work.  I wonder what physiological differences causes some people to fear heights and some to not be bothered at all......

[chargermike]

not afraid of heights but damm no way i would do either. wow that tower goes forever.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

For some reason this seems worse!   Crazy kids!!!

I'd give it a shot. Looks better than what I'm doing for a living now. And most of what I've done in my last 27 years of glorified slave labor.

Googled how much these guys make.   It looks like a single climb might pay as much as $1,600, but, on an annual basis, a tower climber is going to bring down a whopping $60- 70K.

Put four zeros after those numbers and I might consider it...uh...nope, never mind...

Sounds even better now. That's three times and change what I'm grossing. To whom do I apply?

Wireless providers.   It seems they are always looking for someone. 

[elacruze]

Crazy.

Somebody has to do it I suppose, and strictly speaking the height wouldn't bother me since after the first 30 feet or so it really doesn't matter.

OSHA says they can free-climb? I'd like to see that in the manual. That's just insanely stupid. I was scared watching the video.

The guys on the trail, well I can only say that anybody who needs that sort of danger for recreation...Hopefully they just made a misjudgement and got in that far before they realized what it would be like.  I found myself leaning towards the hill just watching the video.

One simple word....... INSANITY!!!!!!!

You might have something there!!!  Since we were not born equipped with wings, it would seem natural for us to be repelled by heights...

[resq302]

Although, some people have used some of those exact same words to describe me and my obsession with my charger!      I just politely correct them that it is a sickness / medical condition called Mopar-itis.

I know, right? LOL! It's amazing how much anxiety just watching a video causes! Yikes!

The only way I'm ever going to get up that high is when I'm dead and on my way to heaven!!

I don't have to worry about that...I'm pretty sure I ain't going that direction

You won't have to do a burnout to heat up the tires!

Hmmm, good pay and nice weather? Sign me up! Wouldn't want to work in a mine though...

I dunno man. That's a long kayak trip from here. Thanks for the "heads up!", though.
