This video still creeps me out. I fell off of an 80' tower when I was younger. Ok, I was only 3' off the ground, but it still was a scary experience.

"gided" tower???

[w0aew]

Takes a special kind of crazy.

Used to climb utility poles as a CATV tech. Did it for years until I burned one and had to go to the emergency room to have a splinter about half the diameter of a pencil taken out of my right forearm (still have the scar). Since then, I'm not as comfortable with vertical climbing as I used to be.

It's odd. (as opposed to even) I didn't mind climbing the radio towers at the stations I worked for, until we had kids. Then, for some reason, I was a firm believer in the adage of "never climb any higher than you are willing to fall". Of course this was around the time one of my friends was killed when he fell off a 300' TV tower. His dad was the CE at the same TV station his son worked at.

I've been 100' up a friend's, and that's as high as I'd go harnessed. The club has a repeater at 1000' that I've been up to, but it has an elevator and a platform.

When I own a home and have a tower, it'll be retractable and no higher than 60' or so. Guyed towers worry me.

Damn, I get shaky at the top of a 10' ladder.

Heights used to terrify me. I have gotten much better about it. I hated going up in high buildings with lots of glass, i always imagined that the glass would magically pop out and a huge hand would grab me and throw me down the side. I used to frame houses, but wouldnt walk the top plate until the subflooring went in, hanging hurricane straps was challenge enough! I could do it now, for some reason, i just dont have that same scared feeling like i did before.

But the video you just subjected me to?? Bugger all that!! :wtf:

And to think, my wife and I were actually in Aarhus Denmark 3 years ago but we didn't have time to visit OZ5E's "shack". We had to get back to Copenhagen to catch our flight to Reykjavik. Maybe next time.

Instead of country, I would have liked to have seen him do the Macarena up there. Now that would have triggered some hits.
