I work rigs and wind farms at sea you just get conditioned to working at heights but i have seen people literally freeze with fear say 1 in every 20 green hands never make a second swing off shore.

The unfortunate thing is, the majority of people working on tall buildings get paid f*ck all.

Ok you're right there I suppose! But for those builders working on skyscrapers in Dubai and elsewhere in the East they're probably just barely scraping by. But sure a great adrenaline rush can be had from it all

My feet feel funny.

I get tired going up stairs, would never be able to climb that thing.

Also what's the point in wearing a hard hat? If they fall they'll need more than a hard hat.

"this is free climbing, meaning that no safety equipment is used".....

sorry, what ?

Sky scraping by?

It really depends on your "fear of heights" factor. I'm not, as it happens. I like it up there and spend a good bit of time hanging off high things. Others freeze past 30 feet. Horses for courses and all that. After 25 feet, it's all irrelevant anyway, cos you're fecked if you fall wether from 30 feet or 300 feet.

I'd need about four extra dry nappies on the ascent so the poor guy climbing up behind me didn't get a constant stream of pee and poo raining down on him, I'm sure I'd be puking as well.

After getting to the top I'd probably just jump off to avoid any more vertigo.

The big twirly slide at Funderland gives me the shakes, my 3 year old says again again and I have to lie to her so I don't have to go down with her anymore.
