I did some tower work in the oil fields.......some years ago. NOTHING like these guys are doing. 200-500 feet. Hell of a view.
You go up, takes about an hour to make the trip. Take all your stuff...stay all day. The towers sway quite a bit in the wind (designed that way). REALLY adds to the Vertigo feel of things.
Basically the experienced hands DON'T wear their safeties....ever!
I wore everybody's.......
