Check this out... there is a little cartoon at the beginning and then it shows a helmet cam view of a guy climbing a 1768 foot tower, a lot of the times free climbing...

I don't even like going on my 2nd story roof...
My whole life
was like a picture

    what is even scarier is to think that they need to climb down that!

    I hate heights... but climbing up something seems so much easier than climbing down a lot of times.

    that was absolutely insane. 1. How the hell are they going to get down? 2. How much do you get paid to do that? 3. How the hell did they not fall? I was scared the whole time watching, waiting for them to make 1 wrong move.

    That is the F Craziest thing i've ever scene

    Here's some play by play

    why would you continue climbing after the the ghetto ladder ended?

    oh look there's four fun lighting rods

    and were still going

    joy

    did i say ghetto ladder earlyer, i should have saved that

    Are those Storm clouds, lets check? (if they are, your DEAD)

    the narrater just said "There's no quick way down" Not True


    :shock: :shock: :shock:

    :D thanks for posting, that was awesome.

    couldn't do it if my life depended on it

    agreed
    very diffucult to get from the roof onto the ladder
    first few steps are a real bitch backing down
    not nearly as difficult to climb ladder and get on roof

    i lasted 2:31 into the video when i had to stop
    my testicles felt weird as i watched that
    this doesnt surprise me... (jumping hills in a car does that to me too)

    this guy is out of his mind
    i would cry if i were up there

    the part in the video right before i stopped (2:31) where the narrator says now for climbing outside or something and the climbing guy is going up those stupid ass ladder foot things

    fuck off and fuck you
    i would freeze and bawl like a child
    actually i'd get about 12 feet up the tower and shit myself

    I have to hand it to you, you actually posted something from the internet that lived up to the hype!

    When I first saw it, I thought "How bad can it be? I'm not up high. I'm sitting at my computer in my office." I had to stop it early on at first and then curiosity got the best of me after reading all the other people who said they couldn't get through it. To be fair, I was playing online poker so I got breaks when it was my hand and my poker game popped up.

    How does someone train to do that? Seriously! I still fill strange and I finished watching it 5 minutes ago.
