This helmet-cam video of a technician free-climbing to the top of a 1768-ft transmission tower made me uneasy. (An elevator got him most of the way up, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txdv_oNq81I#t=0m22s

I guess part 2 is how to get down from a 1768 ft transmission tower...I hope it's not a 5 second clip!
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Like, you have to have a bucket in front of you when you watch the video?
OK, then it's on mine, too.

That's crazy.
Especially how it made my knees knock from just watching that video.

The company I work for has 200' towers. I've been up on one. The height itself wasn't bad, but the climb was. I don't think I could physically do over 8x that.
