How they built these is unbelievable

[@MrLuridan]

I love that place. It is magical to me.

[@DelTangBrav]

Did you see any Russians with a perfume bottle while you were up there?

[@LeonMcaleney-jz2iy]

Mad how they got that cross up there and how its stayed there with all the wind and bad weather crazy

[@tamvan8167]

Good view of salisbury above . Thank you

[@G_Silent]

My hands sweat just watching, just of nightmares, I can almost feel the snap of the rope, hook or attachment failing

[@richardbristol452]

Incredible. I just don’t think I could trust my life to those medieval iron bars.

[@adamm2693]

at least if one fails then the rope will keep you safe, just hold on very tightly!!

[@davidmulhall.8711]

Great respect 👏 fair play..brave Man! Built brilliant how did they do it in those days?? WOW!!

[@foo4572]

Certainly got to have some nerve and unbelievable how it was built all those years ago with wattle and daub 😀👍

[@katecameron3036]

Go on utube and type in ( above the rush and turmoil 1924 ) and watch steeplejack Robert H Manser climb a ladder on a steeple with one hand while carrying a large box camera, absolutely awesome.

[@higloo1094]

I went up the tower a few weeks ago, BWS.

[@shauncorless8965]

You could para glide off that 😮

[@druidical]

I get vertigo every time I watch this

[@davidthompson191]

[@robertray4377]

Those iron rings in that stone for 800 years without rusting and splitting it ? And all the mortar between the stone -- not portland mortar ; but something more like house wall plaster !

[@evielouise4291]

[@jezlucas3878]

Couldn't do that for 20 million

[@alexadams1836]

At Least one of those loops he hooked into was loose :-(.
