you can handle speed - but can you handle heights?

heights and speed are two different things but both can require gonads made from pure solid brass.

I don’t really like heights, and it is odd that even watching that was making me feel uncomfortable.

Some people have all the cool jobs!!!
I think i will keep my arse on the office chair!!

I wish I could do that for a job :cool:

Feck that!! :w00t:

I love the fact that the last 150 feet or so is managed by ‘free’ climbing, as in no safety ropes or attachments as it slows them down and is a more tiring way to climb the tower! If I was already 1650 feet off of the ground there is no way in hell I would want to climb the rest of the way carrying my tool bag and not be attached by a safety line to the structure I was climbing, at that height I think I’d want to be superglued to the fecking thing!! :pinch:

Fred did it years ago, no safety harness from top to bottom! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W_7uIapoHc&feature=related :cool:

Wouldnt get me up there without a parachute, no way am I climbing all the way back down.

Saying that the bit where he reached the red thing and its reaching around for the best hand grip - during that bit I was gripping the edges of my desk sweating.
