Brantuk Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Blimey - my heart got a bit of a beat on watching that. And I've been in Gustav Eiffels office in the wind and yawing 6ft each way. Terra firma for me nowadays though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I have seen it before, but I can't believe he has a safety line, and it's clipped to him for most off the climb. I have a nose bleed now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It is high though the tree's look titchy, and muppets with no idea of the consequences if they fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Well, I was feeling a little cold in my house. Then I watched the tower climbing video and felt quite warm by the time it got to the end. Wow! Many years ago, in a former life as a quantity surveyor (before health and safety was a big issue), I climbed to the top of a chimney at the the Allbright and Wilson chemical plant in Birmingham. I can't remember how high it was but it was about the tallest thing in Brum. It was a 4 foot diameter fibreglass chimney supported by a narrowing structural steel frame like an electricity pylon with a steel ladder to the top. I had to measure all the steel for painting. When I reached the top I was knackered. Then I felt a bit queasy. I then realised that the top of the structure was swaying gently about 6 foot side to side in a light wind. Didn't like that very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
