• Climbing a 1,768-foot Transmission Tower

Panther sent me this several months ago, and I just came across it again...

This video tied my stomach into knots.

It’s a helmet-cam video of a transmission tower repair technician's free-climb of a 1,768 foot tower. The climber reaches the tower's top most light beacon (these towers are so tall they need FAA standardized beacons so airplanes won't fly into them).

Too bad it's not the HD version. That is insane!

Wait...someone would pay me to do that? Where do I sign?

Oh yeah, forgot the one we watched before was in HD... That sure was something to see in fullscreen!
