I’ve been climbing elevate water towers for 10 years and still don’t like it. The hardest part for me is the final climb back down, I have to keep telling myself to ‘go slow’.
NO WAY!!!!!
Does no mean no?
“You ever burn a pole”
I have.
sorry i seen it it aint pretty were you ok
Ok...so...they sent a chopper up to film the guy who climbed 1500’. Why can’t they use a chopper to transport him to the top and retrieve him when he’s done? Sounds like it would be a lot safer.

“The hardest part for me is the final climb back down, I have to keep telling myself to ‘go slow’.”
Exactly right. I changed a bulb on a 500’ tower one summer when I was a lot younger. The tower didn’t have a ladder, so the each step was on an angled piece and they were farther apart than steps would have been, so by the time to come down I was tired, sun burned and thirsty.
Coming down, I could see that if I didn’t take it slow and easy, it would be fast and final.
I have acrophobia (fear of heights). After a nightmare of seeing Oprah nude, I now have a fear of widths.
Chopper or drone?
Screw that hand over hand hook up crap. They need a ratcheting slide rail.
Dont forget a few extra bulbs. Yer gonna drop one.

Don’t watch just after breakfast.
No, you say? I hear the pay is good. Fresh air! Sunshine! The wind in your hair and up your aft!
Some kind of drone-bot might take that job for the most part.

Wrong.....It was film with a drone.
NYC Drone Film Fest may have been a clue
