Transmission tower climb, as high as the Sear's tower

So, I was good with this really cool job until he started free climbing.
The portion where the antennae is moving is freaky too.

Prime example of the danger of internet..

The guy who made the video got negative feedback for releasing the video and pulled it from youtube fearing to be blacklisted on all telecom carriers. Too late, it's all over yahoo and liveleak.

Where are their parachutes? I would never climb something that high unless I have a measurable chance of survival if I fell off. Hahaha.

Opening a parachute while falling within 3 feet of a structure like that...you'd most likely hang yourself with the lines. I would guess the bulk and weight (even though they are very compact and light today) outweigh the chances of getting hung up while ascending the structure.

OK, I made it about 3 minutes in before I started to get nauseous just from watching it.

"Now where the hell are my pliers?" Doh!

Never had to climb that high, but I can only imagine he would have the same feeling if he had left something at the shop 2 hrs. away like I have!!! MF!!
