Jeffas332 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 http://i.imgur.com/x6zaLrW.jpg Just kidding. The crew is installing the final portion of the spire. But it puts things into perspective when simply working on a 100-200 foot tall tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacinJosh Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 What if you were caught live in a big net at the bottom? AJ Still will never happen. I'm too afraid of heights to go up any higher than 20 ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digiblur Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Looks like fun times. That is the one thing I miss was the climbing pointing antennas and fixing sensors up high. My favorite was to climb up at sunset and climb down when it was pitch black in the Gulf of Mexico. Sent from my little Note2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDXmike Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Yeah, I got a minute into it just now and was starting to get dizzy. :puke: Haha, I almost did at the part where the narrator talks about free-climbing without a safety line and how OSHA allows for it.

Of course, if Josh were that climber, the forecast would be for a 100 percent chance of golden and brown showers down at the base of the tower.
