Edit 2: video up again

Edit:

Video unfortunately removed:

I sent out an email this weekend advertising a new video about tower climbing. It was a great video and I wish I could show it to you but the person I got it from expressed some concerns about how it reflected on the tower industry and ask me to take it down. So I did. But not to worry, we have agreed to work on more videos in the near future and I am sure they will be as good or better than the one I had to take down.

Sorry if you feel mislead or cheated but it was the only thing I could do.

I will let you all know when we have more videos on tower climbing, hopefully in the very near future. Thanks for tuning in. Russ

Dude, I was like seconds away from posting that video in the train, fucking nuts. I hope they get good pay for doing that, because they sure do deserve it.

I was all boring...on the inside part. Then he hits the pole and I was like wtf, no safey line? Then base of antenna part, and I was screaming, wtf, stop climbing on it!! No ladder or anything. Like thank god he is done. Then wtf he stands on top of it and another insanley small pole with baby steps on it. That is nuts. I wouldn't do it without a fucking base rig

[DEZI425]

FUK THAT!! no damn way in hell! esp the free climbing part!

[kickflippin1]

Parachute FTW!!!

[Spaz]

i would do this... but only if i got to base jump... fuck climbing back down!!! i bet if you fall from that tower you die of a heart attack before you hit the ground...

[Grimpala]

Fuck a whole bunch of that. I hate free climbing the step stool to get something off the top shelf. No way in hell I'm going all the way up there, esp without a harness.

[raynor139]

At leat he will have plenty of time to contemplate his life on the way down when he falls.



Also NO WAY IN HELL would I ever do that.

[Spaz]

really??? no one else would try it???

[Smkn_TA]

Not really...says it was what 1700 feet?

First thousand feet take 10 seconds, then every thousand after is 5.5 seconds. So probably 14 seconds. Not long at all.

My FIL owns a 512' tower in his back yard, anytime you wanna climb come on down, we'll harness you up and you can climb to your hearts content.

It's only 1/3rd as tall, but still scary as shit. Just climb it 4 times and you can say you've climbed higher than the guy in the video.


And we might take pot shots at you with the paintball guns while your climbing, just so you know.

[ADAM-00SS]

Dude, I'm sweating just from watching that.

my thoughts exactly, id want a chute even for if i fell, but eps just to jump off and float away,

Dude, I'm sweating just from watching that.

this made my palms very sweaty... i did the whole skydiving thing, but this is just nuts, plus did you see bout 1/3 the way through the tower in the background is even taller than the one he is on

When your about to die youd be amazed what all you can think of in those few seconds.

[Schmalgar]

No.
F*cking.
Way.

[Smkn_TA]

If I fell, I'd just grab the other dude on the way down. Then scream in his ear, BEFORE WE HIT, TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND HOLD IT.

With any luck he won't realize I just want an airbag. And the last thing that goes through his mind will be ME!!

[Tobynine9]

Screw that. Ain't no way.

[CJREX]

Ummmmm, No.

[bluehawk2000]

Airborne hooahhhh!!!
