Climbed up a radio antennea tower, drank a half pint of Jim Beam at the top and then had severe cramps. The police werent interested in my cramps. Just what i was doing clim,bing up radio towers. I explained, 'Jose Cuervo and 4 budwiesers' and they said 'oh. Its the tequilla.' And I said 'yea, this has happened before.' They let me go with the understanding that I not drink tequilla until i am over 40.
Same dumb thing as I did whitehawk. But this tower was 806 feet tall. (and no cops)
Did it at night because i was (emphasis on "was"...wasnt afraid after that) afraid of heights. And was fully liquored up of course.
Took me and a friend i think 2 and a half hours. Worst part was on the way down, we took some of those red globes from the lights that warn aircraft to avoid the tower.
I was wearing regular US combat pants with a globe in each quad pocket and one in the back.
Friend was about 50 feet below me climbing down the ladder.
The one globe fell out of my back pocket and missed his head by inches.. and we were still at about 600 feet up. Woulda knocked him out cold.
