How many climbers does it take to chage a light bulb?

Answer: 2 if it's 1,768' above the earth...


Can you watch this without getting sweaty palms?

I don't care if Angelina Jolie is up there naked holding a million dollars, I'm staying down here!

Made we want to smoke just watching that.

My palms and feet are pouring sweat, I'm sick to my stomach and I didn't even watch from start to finish.

Thanks for the nightmares.

Could never do that. Wonder what he gets paid for it.

Just FYI, free-climbing is not permitted under OSHA regulations and those guys are breaking rules and filming it at the same time...

So he lied? Because he said OSHA permits it in the video.



Man, I'm still cringing just thinking about that video.

I hope they had a parachute and could just jump at the end. That would suck to climb all the way back down again

Actually, I just checked and guy #2's face is blurred out, so that would make sense.

I bet INGO member Soulwraith426 could tell you exactly what he makes, he is a Tower Tech.

There is another thread lurking around here with this video being discussed.

I believe my response to that one was a big F no.

Allow me to reiterate.

F - NO!
No Way!
No How!

Makes my stomach do funny things while watching - those guys must shoot up pure adrenaline all the time or something and need that to feel normal.

That's over 1/3 of a mile up btw.

One thing the #2 guy never wants to hear is the #1 guy say OMG i shouldn't have had that burrito for breakfast today!!!!!

 

[MrHank]

There is no way I could do that. I couldn't even watch the whole video with out getting to my stomach.

If you listen to it (although it may be untrue) they say OSHA regulations look past using harnesses due to time restraints.

Yup, you figured it out too!

There is a big discussion about this video on another site. An individual from that profession weighed in on the fact that there aren't any exception to the free-climbing rules. And as noted above, why blur out the 2nd guys face unless you want to remain anonymous for some reason?

 

[awittmer]

I cannot even explain how i felt watching that video, my palms were sweating terribly!
I would just pack a parachute and dive off the top!

Here's a fun one!

[Muddy_Ford]

Biggest Idiots ever!

 

[rambone]

What could they possibly do to please OSHA? Clamp off on every single rung?



Fun fact: It would take a little more than 10 seconds to fall back to the ground from the top.

These guys seem to be experienced in free-climbing and to them it is nothing more than tieing your shoes in the morning. As for blurring out the other guys face, maybe he didn't want his face all over the internet? I for one hate getting my picture taken let alone have a video of me posted for all to see. I would blur out my face as well.
