1. I don't know how much those guys get paid, but it would never be enough for me

to get up there and do that. That just looks so unsafe, especially at the very top :(

2. "This is the tricky part, climbing on top"

:wtf: Such a ridiculous understatement lol! I hope those 2 men earn BIG bucks for doing that. They deserve it! Holy cow! :scared:

3. That was awesome!

I was noticing the clouds then he said something like.. if a storm blows through there is no quick way down. I thought.. umm.. there is at least ONE quick way down. I woulda loved that job.

:hi:

4. I get vertigo just from the still...

There's no way I'd be able to watch the video.

5. Start by watching it through several layers of burlap, then remove

one at a time, it might work ya never know. :) (I know it won't work but it's funny)

6. Then how about a nice, simple, level hike?

8. nice

I'm going to check out that youclimb.de site... i'm not at all a vertigo junkie, but videos of it are awesome

9. That is so not good for us acrophobiacs... shame on you you

wicked person. On the other hand, it would be cool to walk it if I wouldn't turn into a turnip in the first few feet.

10. you have to admit, it's completely level

How about a nice bicycle ride? This one is gently downhill the entire way.

7. my god

everyone who works anywhere should be shown this video the next time they whine about something being difficult.

when he stood up on the plate at the top....


just fucking kill me. I would be a quivering pile of goo at the top of the elevator, let alone free-climbing past that. I'm not afraid of heights, but only when I'm either on solid ground (like a mountain) or in an airplane. I would just endlessly envision one of the cables snapping and the whole thing falling over

11. I got a knot in my stomach just watching it

In fact I think I want my mommy.
