Muck Fe! There must be easier ways to make a living? I don't think that bag he was hauling up behind him contained tools it was for his other extra large b0llock!

Mucho respecto........

I felt physically dizzy & sick watching that! Too scary for me. My hat comes off to the camera man who had to stand on the chaps shoulder and do the videoing... :D

LOL!  :D

I felt sick too and I'm known for being a bit cavalier on ladders (I laugh a lot? I wear big wigs?)

Towers not as tall as the masts, could be fun, could be cr*p, especially in snow and ice.

Was a linesman in the days before safety harnesses, hardhats etc....  when "Health and Safety" arrived the job became sh!t.... no drinking when climbing.... bl**dy heathens  ???  :( >:( ;)

We had a guy in the Kendal linegang who tested the new safety line by jumping off the top arm... it worked :)

The fun ended when free-climbing was banned :(

But I´ve always thought that pleasure is intensified by risk  8)
