I'm thinking going back down would be even worse.......


I was even getting nervous for the guy especially that last 60 ft.

Seems to me a parachute should be standard equipment.... Especially for when a storm decides to roll in.

Was he connected to anything? Because the only attachment I saw was the hook he had when he stopped for a break.

i was wondering if he had a parachute but when the narrator said there was no quick way down, i figured he didn't. he was barely ever tied off. on bad step and he's a goner!!!

unreal. what a nutbag. hazard pay must be good.

what I cant believe is OSHA allows for free climbing. They make me install water jugs on my work trucks for my dumb *** employees that cant walk into the store and buy a gallon of water.

I know i sound crazy. although i would probably puke for a few weeks once i started that job...I think the view and rush would be awesome, plus the pay has got to be great for modding your truck.
