Tiggy Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 no way !!!!!! they are either very brave or totally mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 they are either very brave or totally mad Neither. You can't make somebody that is frightened of heights do that. My DH can go up a ladder that's swaying and still laugh. Me.......I'd be sick BUT they will be very well paid. Good video though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 A friend of the ex is a Difficult Access Engineer and does stuff like that every day, he's also an intrepid white water canoeist, which is how the ex knows him - the man is fearless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 A bit like my Uncle Ralph who worked for the GPO and climbed up telegraph poles. I love the way the chap checked his watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Wow what a view. They must be so fit to climb so easily up there. Just when you think they've got as far as they are going - they go even further! Talk about having your head in the clouds! Wow! Then I started thinking if it were me, the metal would start to bend downwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 That made me feel queasy . The free climbing bit was nervewracking to watch . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Oh.My.Goodness I wouldn't say I am afraid of heights but I had a knot in my stomach watching that video. No way would I ever be able to do something like that. Hats off to anyone who can though, amazing stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I sent it to OH and all I could hear him saying was "ohhhhh this is soooo stressful" and then he came out and said there was another 60 ft to climb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 My goodness & I think our cherry picker (Nifty Norris) is high at 9 metres! They have some guts don't they & the way they are often unclipped from a safety rope. No thanks - I love my job! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Oh well we were lucky then to see it earlier. Well spotted Claret and thanks for making OH feel queasy.
