Damn that's scary, one thing is climbing with a safety line but climbing without its just insane.
A quick google search showed that the national average pay for a tower climber is $21.27 which is kinda low for risking your life.
seriously? that's it?, screw that, I get paid $28 and hr at my job and it's a heck of a lot safer then tower climbing lol, I mean I am not afraid of heights at all but like you said that's kinda low for that job
Dam. Especially where he gets to the orange section and decides to climb on the outside of that small silver pegged tube. wow.
My friends and I climbed a cell phone tower once. There was a metal grate over the first huge satellite dish (to stop ice from crashing down on it) that we ended up sitting on. The weird part was looking at it from the ground you said "that's 50 feet, no problem". But in reality it took us 30min+ of climbing. And we didn't even make it 1/4 ways up the tower; we were well over the tree tops. I have a pic here somewhere.
Edit: Found it. And ya, that's a forest down there.
I call bs on no brakes, but that looks like a lot of fun.
After a run or two, I might need to put a motor on it though. Looked kind of slow.

Damn I can imagine the things that went down in there which caused craziness especially if thers a storm on the way and they tell you yeah a bulb just went bad you have to go all the way up there to change it. The bad part about that too is the higher up you go its gets a little cold and windy too.
