I climbed a similar tower to about the 1600 foot level about 25 years ago to help change light bulbs. I was a hard core rock climber at the time, but this scared the shit out of me! I have nothing but respect for those guys that do that for a living. I'm not sure if they are brave or just bat shit crazy, but it is a job that has to be done.

I'm reminded of the old saw that it's not the falling but the sudden stop at the end...

...my vote is for bat shit crazy...and I wonder what happens if you drop your wrench?

I saw the wrench drop first hand, went right through 6" of concrete and into the dirt below. :shock: That's why the second guy on the tower wears a hard hat and those folks on the ground stay waaaaay back from the base of the tower.

+1 bat shit crazy. I'm pretty sure there is not enough money in the world to make me climb that tower.

I saw this about a month ago, no f-ing way you could get me up there.

The thing that amazed me was they weren't harnessed...
