If you have seven minutes or so to spare and want to feel dizzy and get vertigo, watch this video:

I'm a former military aviator and I get freaked out just watching this. Every time I thought the guy was at the top of the tower, he went up another level.
Enjoy.
I don't like hight's. I got 1:05 then gave up!

I completely understand the feeling. It's amazing what even a little video like this can do. I got seriously weird watching this and had to shake it off a few times. Almost couldn't watch it through.
I've watched that before. The first time, it really did make my stomach queezy!! These guys are crazy!!
You gotta be a special kind of crazy to do that for a living.... :o
The interview for this job must have been interesting.
"So.. you, um, climb this tower..."
"Okay, that doesn't sound so bad"
Watching the video made me feel a bit seasick, actually. The camera moves a lot. :-X

I didn't make it to the end either -- I was actually starting to feel nauseous.

Heh-heh! And, "Do you know how to change a light bulb?"
I actually finished the vid. Just ...woah. The pay for these guys ought to be pretty damn high :o
And the whole way that he was climbing I was thinking to myself: "Yeah, I'm no fan of heights, but this is so far up that it really doesn't matter anymore. But for those free climb parts...I want a fraking parachute!"
The video didn't bother me. But if it were me on that tower, that would bother me. I've had to change aviation light bulbs on top 300ft water towers, that's bad enough.
