    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Before reading this thread I feared the website might have spiraled into a mix of Craigslist fetish add and forum combined....

    Than, I saw the video and realized it was much much more s ickening......... I got queazy watching that. I used to climb poles but nothing like that.... And I though the 80 foot poles along Hempstead Turnpike were bad!

    Piece of cake... LOL. I LOOOOOVE heights.... this would be a THRILL to do! I once had the privilege of going to the edge of WTC Tower 1 's edge on my belly and looked over the edge from the window washing rig... super cool. My great freind (late friend now) ran the PIX Channel 11 transmitter at the center and lost his life on 9/11 while keeping the station on the air... anyway, other story, back to climbing... I am SO THERE!

    Isnt this ironic? I have a fear of heights also. But yet we love things that fly and go up high in the sky?
    As long as something is between me and the open world when I am up high I am cool. Preferably a wall with a window LOL!! On a roof with just a fence, uh no.
    On top of a mountain with just a ledge??

    Considering that my mouth is dry, my hands are moist and I was TOTALLY uncomfortable for 7 minutes watching this... ummm, that would be a no :)

    Awesome video though!

    I can go on top of the Willis Tower or fly without a problem, but just climbing a ladder is too much for me. Can you tell I'm plain acrophobic? ;)

    I have a fear of heights except in a plane, go figure. Not for all the money in the world would I do this.

    Gene, how about this... if you climb it, you get to take over the controls of a new 747-8I for an hour

    Wow!! Awesome video clip, but never in a million years would I do that. Stomach was in knots just watching it.

    No fear of heights, justs fear of falling 1700 feet to death if my foot slipped.

    Not even if Travolta was serving drinks in the back.

    Mostly, it's the sudden stop at the end that scares me, so thanks, but no thanks on this one!

    Believe me they are harnessed... and are tethered... However, the guy on top does not seem to have the tether "connected" all the time. There are moments when he disconnects and climbs without it going back on the tower!! lol. [THAT] is dumb... but then again, maybe a thrill for him.
