Classic Brewing Co Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Any one like this guy's job changing a light bulb? Not this little black duck, the 2nd rung on my ladder is high enough. https://theawesomer.com/climbing-a-1500ft-tower/304497/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered how they get the person down if they are in trouble. Worse still if he is only person around who is prepared to climb. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bloody half a kilometre, sure as hell is too high for me, but I know what you mean. They are probably built to withstand strong winds/storms but it ain't like falling off a ladder. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I don't like Heights any more (never did) I get nervous if I'm standing on the balcony and look up to put the blind down! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubidius Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I think I'm not afraid of heights. But I've never been on bridges that connect two parts over a precipice, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbloke Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Lol. It's much safer than it looks. Everything is engineered with a huge safety margin built in. I'm ok with heights if it feels solid. But if it moves around due to, for example wind, I'm I'm fuked. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
