My heart starting beating faster and faster as I watched this guy climb higher and higher and the pole got thinner and thinner. This video made me feel so uncomfortable, that I could'nt watch him finish the climb up that very thin pole.

Aww JEEZUS please don't look down like that! They were way up there at the start of the video and it still took 7 + minutes to reach the top! There has not been enough money printed to get me to do that! Just the movement of the camera as he climbed is enough to make you think you are a goner. I think the 84 said it best... oh HELL NO!DESTRUCTION is just a couple of vowels down the street from DISTRACTIONComment

That about sums it up, a few years ago just for the rush but not now. You have to bear in mind this bloke does it for a living so probably has a grip like a vice, as do most rock climbers, and some fingers on just one hand will hold him for minutes.Originally posted by locolouie View Post
I only used to climb to E6 but could support my weight on two or three fingers, not so bad when you think of it like that is it.Comment

Every body talks about climbing...I only needed one break to watch this...
Climbing up seems like the easy part....I would not want the climb back down having to navagiate around all those obstacles and really not sure about the footing....Hope they pack a parachute....that may be the easy back down.....Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

I know a guy that climbs. He told me once that when you get above the treetops it really doesn't matter how much higher you go. It all seems the same. After watching this, I think he is full of crap. Thanks for posting this Mudbug. After watching it I feel sane again!Comment

I would'nt feel good even climbing to the top of a telephone pole.

i'm ok until about 70 feet. At about 50 to 60 feet my legs get week. 70 is about my max. I'm into ham radio, my tower is 64 feet. I will be setting it back up soon. If you read the forums on tower climbing they say the insurance companies charge outrages prices. They have to be insured for commercial work. Many say they have to smoke a couple left handed cigs before starting up. They are still crazy.Comment
