    If you have the balls to climb up that high, at points without safety lines, I don't think the cold is going to bother you that much.

    I think the way the camera moves suddenly at times, due to being on his head, make the whole thing even scarier :(

    I actually feel a bit queasy.

    That last 60m he climbs from the base of the antena, the pole he's climbing looks pretty thin and flimsy :eek: Looks like it would bend under the weight

    Also when he clips that onto the pegs on the top, whats to stop it from sliding off the end of the peg? Doesnt look all that safe to be clipping onto if my life depended on it

    Wouldn't bother me tbh...well maybe it might I don't know, never been in that situation before :P but watching it I think that would be pretty cool, would be so serene all the way up there with nothing, heights have never bothered me one bit. Althought wouldn't fancy it in the winds and rain!

    It's like riding a motorbike with no helmet.

    He's asking to get killed.

    I'd be more afraid if there wasn't an elevator going 1600 ft up. Could be worse.

    I have sweaty palms now, and I'm not even afraid of heights. That is very, very scary.

    You can check that by jumping. I'll time it for you.

    :eek::eek:Those things they hook their clips onto really don't look all that secure! All it takes is one weak joint

    Yeah, how does that work actually?

    He clipped in on to the a place near the top. What would happen if he had fallen before he clipped it on? Is there another one below him or something?
