Yeah I don't think I would want this job. But I imagine the pay must be good. This is in Houston, Texas.

Once you exceed 60’ or so, it really doesn’t matter how high you climb. The result from taking one wrong step will be about the same (just a little messier).

Wonder if other cities are hiring for this. I’ve been looking for a deadly job.

How do they assemble those? There’s no crane that’ll reach that high.

Not sure its the deadliest job on Earth (how many have died doing that?) ... but it certainly takes some big brass cojones.

Statistically speaking, POTUS is the most dangerous job in the world. One in 11 men (4 of 44) have been killed at work, and four more have died in office for a total of eight in 44 not surviving the job...in other words, a job with a mortality rate of over 18%.

I love heights and would do this in a NY minute. I’ve climbed a lot of high objects and places, but never a 1,700’+ tower.

Child’s play......Seriously though, I didn’t like the way he was attaching his safety lanyard as he was going up the last 30 ft or so. It could have easily slipped off the foot peg he was attaching it to. Instead, he should have opened the carabiner and put it around the pole the pegs are attached to. Just sayin’.
