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.

Awesome
I would so do that for free.

I'd want a base jumping rig just in case tho

El Weirdo · 15-09-2010 06:03PM

Holy fucking crap!

Poor Uncle Tom · 15-09-2010 06:04PM

Bloody awesome,

watched it twice, more, more....

SadieSue · 15-09-2010 06:05PM

The view up there is lovely!

Gary4279 · 15-09-2010 06:10PM

He could push the other guy off and say he fell.

IMMA CHARGIN MAH LAZER · 15-09-2010 06:10PM

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.

Jev/N · 15-09-2010 06:10PM

Oh holy fuck!

Is Gary4279 a prison tag by any chance?

Slunk · 15-09-2010 06:14PM

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

Looks exhilarating, I'd do it for minimum wage, no problem.

15-09-2010 06:20PM

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.

Chorcai · 15-09-2010 08:43PM

someone do the math, if he fell from that hight how long would it take him to reach the earth.

Diabhal Beag · 15-09-2010 08:46PM

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

Mr Benevolent · 15-09-2010 08:56PM

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

14 seconds.

fred funk }{ · 15-09-2010 09:12PM

Wouldn't want a dose of the sh*ts at that height. Wonder do they wear nappies!!

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

bonerm · 15-09-2010 09:35PM

Anyone know where exactly that tower is?

: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?
