You really do get very comfortable after a while on nice days there is nothing like it.

I remember working on a 300ft self supporter we were erecting up in Worcester it was right next to high voltage power lines, as we were pulled up on the cable when level with the wires you could feel the charge in the air, taste it and the cable would become magnetized or something and actually lean towards the tower structure slightly, bizarre as hell.

Anyone that watches the video should note he is an expert climber, he looks down as he places every foot on ascent to confirm he has the right foot hold befoer moving up one rung. Climbing like that with out looking at where your feet are every single time is a recipe for disaster! As Alan said going down is even trickier you really need to pace your self.

Yeah, that's pinch-butt inducing just watching it. Yikes, I'm afraid of falling off my roof when I go up there. Plus, the storm clouds full of lightning... yikes.

I do fieldwork for archaeological projects... photography, etc... mostly rock art sites, sometimes on cliffs. I've had to work on ropes over sheer 200 ft drops before. Exhilarating and terrifying at the same time, even with the help of mountaineering guides. Whether its a cliff or transmission tower, you need to remember the basics... always know where your hands and feet are going, don't cross your feet and don't forget your damn tools.
