Default This is just insane

Worst job in the world hands down.

Tower Climbers working - YouTube


The commentator is just talking like it's all good. Another day on the job. I was getting vertigo just watching that, Let alone me climbing the damn thing.

I fucking love heights, full on beast mode for those guys.

Edit, just got to the part where they're climbing the outside of the structure. FUCK!

The last part makes me disoriented for a quick second. And ya, you must be in complete and utter concentration to be able to keep your cool doing this, especially when at the top.

Dude I shit myself looking at the CN tower when I'm really close up, I get crazy vertigo. Let alone climbing a 4 inch pegs at 1700 feet with nothing but air and death on either side of you.

He should bring a parachute and jump down after the job, would save time and would make it fun.

I feel like if i had a tether the whole way up i probably wouldn't freak out too bad, knowing if i slip that something's holding me. Climbing up to the top with nothing holding you in case you fall? Fuck that. I'm not even afraid of heights, but knowing my life is dependent on a tiny ass steel peg doesn't sound very fun. Those guys must have balls of fucking steel not to freak out during that. I bet they get paid a shit ton tho, that probly helps.

Don't worry, you get breaks every 20 feet where you can latch on and look around and try not to freak out.

If your balls were really huge I think they'd get in the way too much to do this sort of work.

These guys get paid pretty damn well. I've heard that these guys can pull down 6 figures during a busy year. A lot of them are electricians by trade, so they'd make like 40-50k just on the ground.

I dont see much point in wearing a parachute, if it was an uncontrolled fall, they'd probably get fucked up by the guy-wires or fall back into the tower. If you fall, you're dead...make your peace with God before you go to work I guess

Talk about occupational health and safety
What I don't get is why they don't have some sort of latch system. So your constantly on a guide rod, then your carabina flicks through multiple one way steel gates . Seems kind of smart, considering any multitude of things and you die... Also second the basejumping idea.

Why not just do all this shit on the ground?

Surely we could figure out a way to do so...
