I got through about 1 minute before I had to take a break from it. Then I went back for another 20 seconds. I've rappelled from helicopters, towers, and bridges but for some reason this freaks me out.

Started to get uncomfortable at the 4 minute mark.
No way I'd be able to do that, but an awesome video to watch!

I got to the 3 minute mark and realized I had failed at my attempt to watch the whole thing. Once he got to the antenna part of it and the narrator said, "Just 60 more ft. to go," I knew it was a lost cause.
There's a company located here that services towers...i had some friends that worked there ...nuts
I've watched this whole video! By the end I was like JESUS MAN WHAT ARE YEE THINKIN. YER GON FALL N KEEL YERSELF.
I did exactly what capn did - I sat there sweating it out and as soon as the guy says all optimistically, "it's only 60' from the top", I lost it.
OK, gonna go back and watch the rest now. *deep breath*
EDIT Know what I was just thinking? If this is one of those "fright videos" where you're watching all intently then all of the sudden it shows a close-up of the chick from the Exorcist's face along with a loud scream, I will DIE I will friggen die!!

Hahaha that sounds like the worst video ever having the stress of what the video is itself plus that. Yea I'd die too. Urinate a little as well

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong
I was sitting on my couch watching this and my legs were total rubber.
Those guys should be paid a million dollars an hour
and given gold medals and a ticker tape parade
and have dinner at the White House whenever they want
and free beer for life.

No worries I've seen the whole video. There's no exorcist chick or scary pop up nonsense for that matter. Just a man and his pole
I watched the whole thing......but when he got to the red part of the tower.....I got that shooting tingly rush feeling through my lower body and legs and I was squirming after that.........holy crap! And that free climbing deal.....dang.

Okay. That scared the bejeezus out of me. Once they got to the end I wondered how they knew their hook would fit into that tiny little hole. I guess they carry a few different ones, but still how do they plan for that?
