EPTThe top climber has 2 hooks attached to him, at he climbs, he always puts one hook into a hole. The guy under him always takes his hook out and climsb himself. Both of them are atached to one another. So if at any time one of them falls, they are secured to eachother and they are straped to something, so they will be safe. If you just start this sort of job, that's probably what you will be doing for quite some time until you get desensitized to the fear of heights. Then it's just boring old world with one hell of a view.

The first video had me shaking weakly in reaction to fear. The second one calmed me down a bit and had me grinning at the finishing comment. | ||

It's pretty damn scary, considering this is what happens when you touch a power line without the proper protection: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=103572172990390 | ||

You guys who say wouldn't even do it for a million, personally I feel are a little crazy. A million is a fuckload of money. Yeah, you would totally do it - until you got off the elevator. And then you'd piss your pants and get the fuck down there like all the rest of us. | ||

Funny guy. "There's only three things I'm afraid of: Heights, Electricity, Women, and I'm married too." - Guy wearing a steel jacket, working with steel tools 100's of feet in the air on a 10,000 volt power line. | ||
