I have no idea how much those guys earn; I do know they earn every penny of it!

Ye gods!!!! The way he just casually scratches his leg just before getting to the top.

I used to do a lot of rock-climbing, including a bit of free-climbing on short, easy routes, but no way would I do that for any money!

 

[Panter]

I actually felt queazy watching that

Me too ... big style.

Hell of a long way to go to change a lightbulb though.

And what happens if one of them drops a screwdrive - do they do rock / paper / scissors to see who goes back down to get it?

I can't climb on the back of our settee without going dizzy so big hats-off to these guys.

Cheers,
Shaun

I'd love to be able to have a go at doing that!

Does Cycle Chat not have a transmitter tower we can send Shaun up?

Now I'm not afraid of height, but that video is terrifying!

 

[slowmotion]

Why on Earth does he bother to leg it..............?

I kept waiting for the tail rotor to cut the cable ... that's some bloody good flying that is ...

Cheers,

Can't see the video any more - is it the blokes who jump out of helicopters onto high-tension cables?

This was on YACF, from where I nicked this link explaing the clips vanishment.

To make up for it,

Where I was working yesterday - quite high enough.

The vid's been removed, but it's been copied and you can still find it here. Eek!

All that to change a lightbulb?

They didn't mention what it would be like if it was bit breezy. At that height it's probably always a bit breezy.
