Imagine if the worker's boss told him, that light bulb you installed yesterday was 100 watt, not an energy saving fluorescent. Go back and do it right.

I'm pretty sure if he does that for a living he doesn't care whether he has to climb it again :p

I doubt there's daily maintenance for those towers. I guess they could work on other towers, but what if it's raining?

Must be a pain in the ass to take a piss when you're up there. He's probably wearing layers since it's a higher elevation, plus all the gear, and having to aim away from your partner while dangling from a thin piece of metal. Goddamn.

Oh yeah. Having to climb that high is pretty scary too.

What's the point of having a youtube thread? When people find interesting videos that just post them in the forum.
By the way I posted this yesterday in the youtube thread.
Wishing you well.

Those "ladder rungs" or rather 2 inch diameter nails of cast iron appearence aren't exactly reassuring either

Does anyone have a clue as to how much they make?

It has to be atleast 100k a year.

How do you even recruit someone for this job?
"Wanted: Someone who will ride an elevator 1600 feet into the air, and then climb a ladder, unassisted, 168 feet to repair carrying a 30 pound bag dangling from you."

Seriously, who would sign up for this/train for this?

my granddad used to climb old pine trees just to put up bird houses on em. Now given that 200 ft-ish pine trees arent quiet as tall as this tower, its still not something your average guy would do.
Some people just have balls, big, big, balls.

I was finding myself going "oh!" and "ahh!" every time he would take a step for the later parts.

Absolutely horrifying, but I would expect that this guy would be paid among the most of those in that kind of work. People are generally well-compensated for doing the extremely dangerous shit.

And I don't really think they have parachutes on. The helper guy had a harness on but I didn't see anything that resembled a parachute.

Would I try to do this for a million bucks? Maybe, but I would definitely be taking the slow way of reattaching my safety line every few steps. I'm just not that confident in myself.

When he was still inside, I was like "I could do that". Then he went outside and I was like "Ok ... maybe not" and then they casually mentioned that he was free-climbing "O_o"
I think esports is pretty nice.
