Thank God I'm only 6'3". At 6'4" I would start being frightened. What these guys are doing is just incomprehensible.

Several years ago while doing an early morning flight out of Orlando I saw two workers at the very top of one of the two grouped together 1,500' 'Bithlo' towers with the ground completely covered in thick fog, it was really a wild sight from only a couple of hundred feet above and a mile away.

There was at one time three 1,500' Bithlo towers but one of them fell to the ground due to structural failure in the early '70s'. eek

Because when you're considering climbing one of them, you really want to have it in your mind that sometimes they simply fall down!
