As I'm watching this guy rig his ropes while laying in bed my phone slipped out of my hand. In that moment my heart jumped. Props to anyone that can do this job.

I have been learning about climbing and rigging even though it is unlikely that I'll ever put it to use. This video has been very interesting and it has had me squirming at the edge of my chair several times. It is cool to see everything work.

@Josh Smith Life is priceless When you know what you're doing it's safe. Safer than driving for example.

[@ReasonMakes]

@Hewhoremains I just started rope work for window cleaning and my employer paid for my training as well, so I am near the bottom of the pay scale for rope techs. I make $25 CAD / h. ($19 USD / h.) Some of the more experienced guys make $30 CAD / h. People who mix a more skilled trade in with rope work, such as welding, make $40 CAD / h.

2:55 I'm taking that idea with the tiny green chord to prevent dropping the asap. nice. What is that silver thing attached to the carabiner at 22:35 I need that in my life.

Have you seen women do this job? I'm intersted in it but a bit worried that it will be too physical for me day by day..

[@Kremit_the_Forg]

@@NK-bz9wb Depends highly on yourself I guess. It's not easy. It's hard work. Never seen a fat worker (or a skinny/weak one). That beeing said, yes there are woman doing this. I know one (arborist) and talked to a few doing industrial climbing.

@@Kremit_the_Forg Thank you John. I'm still considering my options about this :) Thank you for your opinion and time!

[@NK-bz9wb]

@Rusty Climber Thank you, My worries were not that it'll be too hard for me but rather - "will I be in over my depth and put others at risk because of that?" But at this point I believe in myself and trust myself to be professional, and indeed to walk out if I do realize that I really am not the person for the job.

[@HighStandardRopeAccessLtd]

Hi @NK, it is physical but its a matter of technique mostly, with the time you will master that. The best workout for caving, rope access etc is rock climbing, indoors or outdoors. Rope access is a mean of access for a certain work to be carried out. You need a trade or experience in something, if you just clean windows is a different story. Also a good rock climber it's not nessesary a good rope access technician and vice versa. Good luck.

[@ciw12win]

Good job man,but I am a little curious about 02:40,don’t you set the secondary backups first on the rope, then take off the first backups? There is about 10 secs you don’t have backups.

[@riccardoz2953]

hi there particular profession you're doing !! About that projector, is missing a screw so the lamp holder isnt aligned properly: due high temperature when those lams are on, i strongly advice you to speak to the building electrician\maintenance staff and let them provide u another screw to fix it. otherwise that lamp can be too close to a lens eflective survace, over heat and blewup with the result that u have to lower the whole light to clearup from the debries. On the rope work, a question about why u havent a rope connectedfrom were u started so u can retrieve yourself\ be pulled in case of problem? u are ocnnected to the same railing sistem.. that scare me a ton !! About the DMX cable it's used also to give the command lamp ON or lamp OFF so the device can be shut down properly (lamp off) while the fans keep cooling. all those discharge lamp projectors should never be just turned off cutting the power supply couse as u turn off the device, lamp goes off but also the fans cooling it (if it isnt 100% passive cooling) so inside it keep the high heat. If they dont care , good for u, more calls to change lamps ;)

[@HighStandardRopeAccessLtd]

Well, I do had a rope bag for my set of rope so I could be rescued. Also there is another person next to me as you can see if you watch the whole video. There is a person on the ground who can rescue too, so we have been covered. About the lamp: the task was to change the light bulb and that's it. It didn't work, so we got the whole thing down and to the maintenance so they can fix it and test it there. It wasn't so simple but here is not the place to comment the details.

[@riccardoz2953]

@@HighStandardRopeAccessLtd quick aswer back !! about ropes etc it's your life and your skills; was just asking if wasnt supposed to have a safe line connected horizontally to the point were u started to pull u back there? or the plan was your buddy reach u and descend u to the ground? sorry for my poor english, isnt my main language and in this sector my vocabulary is pretty limited. thanks a lot anyway to sharing that video and for your answers ;) About lights like those, cheking if power is arriving to the power socket and being sure about the dmx if it is in use or not it's mandatory for the maintenance staff , i understood your job is change the lamp only, but it could help ya to know a little of troubleshooting in place (saving you to move the entire projector to the ground. last inside cardboard of the lamp should be a little pocket with a isopropilic cleaning tissue , to cleanup the lamp before screwing the lamp holder to the body. i noticed u tried to avoid to touch the bulb it's pretty difficult even at the ground over a desk ... well done ;)

that is NOT high standard, it's LOW standard: there is NO connection to the walls, so if the track car jams or the track system fails, there is no back-up system, and if the wind blows you off the walls how the hell do you pull yourself back to "safety"??, or do you just fall to the ground????

[@dwilliams2068]

The top lid was captured as was the inner one, but not the screws. Clearly the designers didn't think they themselves would be required to replace the lamp. Strange how the moving camera is disorientating and the height seems us-settling. On the other end of things, I am a non-climber but took a ropes course and had absolutely no fear doing a high slack rope walk and jumping out 15' to a trapeze. HOWEVER we all had a safety rope held by a skilled climber on the ground and trusted him completely. Regarding the lamp, no LED replacement? Pretty common thing to do these days. Finally, I suspect next tome the guys unbox and ready the lamps on the ground.
