Tower climbers have big balls 🔴

[@Clarkanlana42]

[@brian.7966]

its only dangerous if you fall off.

[@marksnider8914]

Falling anit nearly as bad as stopping 👊🤠🤙 💜

[@fredd12xd]

You only fall once at least xD, beginner tower climber here got 3 climbs 200ft highest.

[@borntoclimb7116]

Lightling, collaps, Strom, ice and radiation sickness.

Fall dont hurt but that sudden stop at the bottom sucks

My bottle is twitching just watching this.

[@a2thee270]

Why didnt he use a cable grab and eliminate the double clip climb. Baffeling to me. Work harder not smarter. Unless the cable itself was tagged out of commission

[@UkrainianBazooka]

It's painted so it's no longer 3/8ths, the cable grab will bind up.

[@MichaelJohnson-]

@@UkrainianBazooka So what if it is painted. Ours were painted too @ different towers depending on how lazy the sprayers were when doing it up. The guy getting out of the elevator not hooking off first was by far the dumbest thing you can do. Climbing using the hooks is not free climbing. That's when you climb without stopping or using hooks.

[@GBaby_Crawler]

@@MichaelJohnson- Yeah he definitely wasn't free climbing this is what we call "hand over handing" it, making sure you are always clipped off. Free climbing you don't clip off to anything and you just climb. I do this for a living. The views are simply amazing!

[@280StJohnsPl]

Elevator is the easy way up and down

[@antonio-escobar-johnson-ii1139]

34 compared to 14,000 is quite surprising for the jobs nature.

What a career….hats off…

[@kkingquad]

I’m watching this on my way to a 300’ tower. There’s only one 1250’ in the area, but my customer isn’t on it, so it’s not likely I’ll ever be on that one.

[@doom8274]

how much do you make

[@kkingquad]

@@doom8274 not enough, lol

[@hyderabadi1462]

I'm doing this from last 6years

Watching this reminds me why I don't do drugs! I hate getting high!!

[@borntoclimb7116]

But Lattice Climbing/towerclimbing is way better than drugs
