@@capri2673 yes, absolutely. It took a few months before I was completely completely comfortable, but it did get a whole lot easier over time. Having confidence in my equipment helped tremendously.

For the average man it's pant shittingly frightening for sure. This tower is the same height as the typical release from the sailplane winch shot we get at my local field. At least there you're in a flying machine and have a half decent chute to look after yourself with.

That’s kind of how I am I could deal with fear of a lot of stuff but flying in a plane or being high no way I’d do it though maybe I’d try a plane if I were in control is only way the tower seems safer since has cables to hold it up I could go up a sky’s raper elevator and ride it back maybe without much shock but if I was to go up high in sky scraper and look out windows my knees would shake 😅
I saw one of these having the last top piece put on using a helicopter and a guy with a spanner, which takes even bigger balls than climbing it. Crazy stuff.
I put (with help of coarse) the three lights on top of the mountain in East Granby Connecticut. They were longer than usual telephone poles with lights on top.. I maintained those lights and all the beacons and towers at all the State owned airports climbing the towers and poles for maintenance and changing the lamps. It was a great job and I loved the view..
The gentleman who did the climb and maintenance im told is from the Denver, Colorado area and he is the oldest on his crew. He said the youngsters are way to spoiled by technology and afraid of heights, Rob B. is 48 years old and freaking fearless when working atop some of the tallest structures worldwide. rumours are its not uncommon to pull 120g for guys like him. Brave and Balls of steel !!!!
spoiled by the very technology that he chose to risk his life to change bulbs for ....people should stop claiming "kids are spoiled by tech" when it's obviously serving them, too!
I almost got a job doing this, the thing is I hate heights and I knew it would be miserable. I thought maybe if I did this, it would get over my fear of heights. I ended up just changing my mind. That being said, the people that do it, you gotta give mad props to
You saved your life having a fear of heights myself I tried a cherry picker at a fucking warehouse and was shitting bricks at 60 feet in the air that alone is scary. Lol I knew I had a fear and still did it and I was screaming my mommy name 😂
@@sarahhhx3 yeah I get all shaky, breathe heavy and almost kinda get fatigued when I climb up tall stuff. Idk how people do stuff like this, maybe they’re a little scared too idk. 1700 feet? That’s crazy lol
Thank God for the man to do this work. Think about no Doppler radar TV broadcast FM cellular phones back in the day pagers is very hard work. A lot of travel time away from home and family very little pay for the work. I’m proud and loved every hand I work with people had your back and you had theirs. Thank God for tower hands unappreciated workers. LJ
Someone needs to invent a light that has 6-10 bulbs that can be turned on independently that way you can reduce the number of climbs and thus reduce the job risks... I honestly don’t know how you can do that!
I was thinking they could put a couple of pulleys on the tower, one at the bottom and one at the top, with a continuous "clothesline" sort of setup, with the light attached to the line, and just hoist the light up to the top pulley. If you mount it with the top pulley facing upwards, the light would be above the rest of the structure.
@@parpir76 Nah. Not even close. These towers are very strong and designed to flex. They're capable of supporting weights from several hundred to several thousand pounds being hoisted up the side. The reason you can't lower the fixture to change the bulb is because it's not practical.
Ive always dreamed about doing this. A week ago, my buddy told me his boss will bring me on. Start this monday on a 1200 ft tower. Hoping I can do this. Going to PA for a couple weeks from MI, first time going that way. IM more excited than scared and I just shit myself
I loved climbing! Now that I'm 60 my back can't take the hours of wearing the 50 lbs combined weight of harness and tools. Highest I ever was was on middle island on Long Island at 550 ft. Could see Long Island sound to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. What I will note on this tower which as of today 9 years later is completely illegal is that the tower has no tie off at the top. 100% illegal today. I do miss it though! I had a corner office view at a different location every week.
I’ve always wondered why climbers don’t pack a parachute with them? Seriously!! Exhausting enough getting to the top and doing your work, and NOW you gotta go DOWN the same way (and speed ) . It seems much more efficient and safer to just jump, and immediately pull the rip cord?? Thoughts anyone??
Talk about the people that do the painting on this thing. Climbing with slippery paint mitts Only time that I ever really felt scared and unsure myself was when I had those damn mitts on.
You know what I think about this job is just putting a web 20-30m above the ground what absorbe the impact on case he falls. Just a web 30m wide complete around the tower in 20-30 m high.
No because how are you going to control which direction the parachute opens, plus if you fall you’re going to be a few feet from the tower and that’s if you don’t hit a dish on the way down. It takes 10 seconds to fall the first 1,000ft and 5 seconds for the next thousand feet once you reach terminal velocity. So you will not have time to react
Are they connected to the orange part in some other way? Besides those lines he connects to each hand hold? Just a small metal lip stopping the carabiner from sliding off? If not, that makes me want to hurl…
Sometimes it's just as simple as changing the light 🚨 Other times it is repairing storm damage or adjusting the direction of satellite. This was my first year!
@@brianarmstrong9098 buddy, I give you a tip of the hat respect for being able to mentally and physically do that! Thank you very much! I subscribed to your channel! :-)
When you get to the very last section and the rungs are completely opposite of each other, don't the huge balls get in the way? The only way I'd be getting to the top of this tower would be if it fell over and was laying n the ground.
Almost impossible for the carabiner to pass the upturn at the end of the handle. Closed handles make it harder and more tiring to climb, which is a hazard in itself.
Even if you had the guts it is very stressful to the fingers, hands, arms, legs, and other muscles of the body, I myself would be suffering from extreme multi stage muscle cramps & chronic fatigue syndrome.
Real talk I would rock a parachute and just go down the fun way. Why has nobody implemented a winch system up to the top? If you put a strong winch at the top, had a steel cable run down the tower like a loop, and the climber could hook on and be pulled up.
if one did this the motor would be at the base of the tower, but its not practical since the weight of the cable would be to great and cause instability problems, also the cable needs to be secure to the tower when not in use else it blows around in the wind and damages it.

@@carreraman8364 go to 2:38 and 9:40 time stamps and youll see the handles they are grabbing turn for some reason.
@@dalbgg6 I wonder if the circumference of the steel became to small to have the handles angled anymore

Nice Sopranos style ending!

Thats pretty amazing, i Don't know if it's the camera but it looks like you can see the curvature of the earth.
It's the fisheye lens. You'd need to be at an altitude of at least 35,000 feet before you start to notice any curvature.
So easy for me to watch as the ground isn't ground anymore. It's the earth.

I would definitely have a parachute on just in case.😂
I'd get trained in base jumping before this and wear a parachute. If I slip, I can recover. If I don't want to climb down, jump.
so basically if you slip, all thats holding your safety carabiner is the little curls at the end of each step??? pretty dicey
Serious question, as high as this tower is could you wear a parachute as a backup?
You could as long as you stay clear of the tower for a successful landing
No because how are you going to control which direction the parachute opens, plus if you fall you’re going to be a few feet from the tower and that’s if you don’t hit a dish on the way down.

Mono poles are the worst. I have to think that maybe there was an elevator, but climbing the last couple hundred feet had to be daunting.
Lions. Lions would have to be chasing me up this pole.
Didn't show from base up. Hey, don't cheat our experience !
Respeck for the safety line, but could you imagine missing a peg with your foot and swinging?
Even just sneezing while up on the last section of the climb...
I almost just had a heart attack
Surprised they don’t have parachutes in case they were to fall off
When you get to the very last section and the rungs are completely opposite of each other, don't the huge balls get in the way? The only way I'd be getting to the top of this tower would be if it fell over and was laying n the ground.
The video is good. The music SUCKS! Why the hell does everyone feel the need for music? We could tune into the local radio station for that!
A good time to play the soundtrack to Vertigo
Imagine being attacked up there by space eagles.
That would suck because space eagles are really territorial and aggressive, but you're infinitely more likely to disturb a wasp nest.
I would love to see you post this video with the original sounds. Music takes away from the bravery
Geez, I don't know how they're doing it. My stuff is puckering just watching this video.
I’m getting sick just watching this 😂
Why would they not make the climbing handles closed instead open . If the dude slips in a certain direction that carabiner is sliding right off
Almost impossible for the carabiner to pass the upturn at the end of the handle. Closed handles make it harder and more tiring to climb, which is a hazard in itself.
Now imagine the climb down.
Gets to the top and starts thinking....I knew I shouldn't have eaten 4 bowls of super spicy chili last night!
I've always wondered what happens if you would need to take a super wicked nervous shit when you get to the top?
Even if you had the guts it is very stressful to the fingers, hands, arms, legs, and other muscles of the body, I myself would be suffering from extreme multi stage muscle cramps & chronic fatigue syndrome.
What about the blokes who built it ?
Real talk I would rock a parachute and just go down the fun way. Why has nobody implemented a winch system up to the top? If you put a strong winch at the top, had a steel cable run down the tower like a loop, and the climber could hook on and be pulled up.
if one did this the motor would be at the base of the tower, but its not practical since the weight of the cable would be to great and cause instability problems, also the cable needs to be secure to the tower when not in use else it blows around in the wind and damages it.
What would the rescue plan look like
Do they jump down with a parachute?
Are these people just "wired differently" of do you get used to heights like working on a roof?
I get spooked putting up my Christmas lights!!!
Yes, you get completely comfortable at height, as if working on the ground.
