I saw this on another forum and agree with the poster. Whatever these guys get paid, it's not enough. Can you imagine the first time you ever had to climb 1/3 of a mile into the air?

Yes, these guys are absolutely bananas. Beyond just the dangers of the height they have to deal with serious RF.

No way in the world that I would do it... but I know a family that has a business that paints towers like that. All 5 male members of the family do it and of course they make REALLY good money. I've always wondered what kind of insurance they have to pay?

No way I would be stupid enough to think I should climb that without being attached because it's faster. "If I can do it faster I can make the company more money, why strap in?" Doesn't make much sense to me, I'd take all the time I could

If that were in the US, there is no way he'd be allowed to go up without the safety gear on 100% of the time.

I believe it was in the US. They mentioned OSHA being ok with them not strapping in because it takes more time and is more tiring.

scary stuff for certain!
I tend to find free climbing a bit intimidating as well http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...0560824977185#

Looks like it's been taken down due to copyright concerns...dang I'd really like to see it.
