      Gotta love the calm, cool narrator voice.... as I was screaming for the guy to stop climbing before I lose my breakfast.

        There was no sound, only the narration. The blowing of the wind, tugging at me, would be the most terrifying. =^oo^=
        If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
        1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
        2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
        3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
        4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
        5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

            After watching that, I noticed small pools of sweat on my desk that had exuded from my palms. There is no friggin way I would do that.

                I used to do that sort of thing at adsa (walmart) warehouse racking system. it only went up 12 stories on the cranes and racking. To be honest it becomes normal going up and down the stuff and you dont think about it. the biggest thing was tiredness lumping your fat ass up and down a ladder.

                      Not that it's much of a comparison, but I spend a couple of days each week doing ladder time. Once you've done enough ladder time, you get a new mindset: 1) Look: where an I ?; what direction can I move?; 2) Move: set up in new position; 3) Work for a while: 4) Need Supplies?, finished here?: back to #1.

                      It becomes completely second nature after a while. I find myself finished ... say trimming my beard, then Look (oh, yeah. I'm on the ground. OK to move ... ), all day long. =^..^=

                        That is really terrifying. We just sit on the chair and work by complaining about our job but this particular person holds his soul and does his work. Great salute for him.

                          Brass balls are heavy - I wouldn't want to lug them around. Honestly, I'd be willing to have them blown up with helium so long as they wouldn't get in the way.

                            Good idea. Then if you fell, you would float down.

                              I used to work with Satellite uplinks and Microwave relay stations before I was a copy tech. Never been up that high, but I did get my feet off the ground. Probably not too much difference between a couple hundred and couple thousand feet - you'd be just as dead after a fall - but you still ain't getting me on top of that tower...

                              The worst part of what I had to do was getting on the tower right at the base - The narrator mentioned the spikey things used to stop lightning strikes - what he failed to mention was that the entire tower is ground isolated. It's designed to build up a high static charge to repel lightning - if it was grounded it would be a 2000 foot lightning rod, and no surge suppressors in the world would save your transmitters. You always had to jump on to the tower, and it always zapped the hell out of you no matter what, but if you were grounded when you grabbed it it would probably blow you off the base.
