How much would you have to be paid to climb it? I reckon I'd do it for £2K

The boss must have an easy job, if one of the climbers puts a foot wrong he doesn't have to fire him, just identify the body

I think you meant you would do it if you was on crack.

It would be a pain in the arse you would get up there and it would be lunch time so all the way back down go to the cafe have a big fry up, then back up again then you get a shit come on, all the way back down again " you just wouldn't get any work done.

"Hey steve you bring the thingy?"

"Nah mate you have it!"

"Sh1t!"

I really want to do rope access stuff, already got some NDT tickets through work (marine engineer/naval architect) but not getting any closer at the moment.

Think that is a little beyond me though

Its the bits where he unhooks for a while that make it seem so nuts, but I assume he's tied to his climbing partner and that all times the top guy isnt directly attached to the tower his climbing partner still is, so in reality its actually pretty safe relatively speaking as he's still attached?

There is a quick way to get down but it hurts a lot and you only do it once.

I'm not bothered by heights providing I'm fastened to something, only crazy people do heights unattached!

Will watch later. Posted this to bookmark the thread

I can't see where he is attached to his partner, the free climbing bit is exactly that, free!! I get invoved in rope access stuff at work, controling the work, and we insist they have to have 2 safety lines so that when they unclip one to move position the other is always attached, takes longer but they are always clipped on even when moving the position of the safety line.
