Watched "Dirty Jobs" with Mike Rowe a few years ago. He was working with a crew painting the Golden Gate bridge. They painted the supports and the cables. That man amazes me with some of the jobs he did on that show. Really pretty fearless and obviously not afraid of heights. The only job I ever remember he couldn't handle was at sea on Deadliest Catch. He lasted two days and never did get his "sea legs". That's another job that you'd never get me doing.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Yep. When I was young, i'd do anything, I didn't care and I have the scars to prove it. Now, just seeing people climbing anything makes my sphincter tighten beyond water tight. No thank you!!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

1768 foot tower, free climbing for a good portion. I would hate to forget a wrench. Life insurance and welding skill came to mind as I watched that. No amount of money would get me up there.

Not for the weak that is for sure. Was up a 75 footah one time in a snow storm first pole on a rivers edge and an angle pole to boot. The river was downI would say another 40 feet or better. Long ways down. LOL The spots lights from the ground didn't help one bit, I had a headlamp which helped some. It was the one time I was a bit concerned couldn't see my feet from the blowing snow. I was in hooks/belt on a wood structure. I got my work done up there and lived to tell about it. Live by prayers and on the edge. LOL
