Fornia

Clark,
That is crazy! I wonder what the avg. income is for those brave souls?

One of those jobs where you might choose not to tell the wife and kids about what you do at work.

Gator Bait

 
If you had any brains you would know that eventually the odds are going to catch up with you. One day your going to make a mistake, you miss a hand hold or a step or your going to step on some bird poo and it's all going to be almost over! Not enough money in the world to get me up there and I'm glad of it. :laugh:


 

"Sparky"

I would do that in a second,but i could never tell my wife about it(or show her the pictures) The poles that I climb,and repel down are only 80-160' :ohmy: I feel like such a rookie :pinch: I do love my job though

Great shots, Doug!

I can't imagine going up to 1700 ft. - and that tiny platform at the top.

Whew. You guys can have those jobs !

The phrase, 'not a chance in hell" comes to mind.

I wonder if a parachute is worn?

Misippi Egger

My brother, who sent me the link, said the same thing. He wondered if they could just base jump with a parachute to get down, especially if a storm come up or they otherwise needed to get down in a hurry. I don't remembering see anything like a chute pack on the brief shots of the second guy.

I bet if they did base jump and then got blown into the tower or a guide cable, the lawsuits would be numerous and large!

Misippi Egger

Good point!

Rolling Egg

Wondering about income as well. How much money do they get for one climb?

Misippi Egger

NOT ENOUGH !!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Hoss

That is just WRONG!!! :ohmy: :blink: :pinch:
