anaya83 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 They get payed pretty good, 300/hr or 1500/day. I would do it once (most likely because i would fall off) If you think about it, it's good pay. \This is one of the few jobs that I can think of that you cannot go to with a hangover.

Big Tim Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I am absolutley terrififed of heights and just watching this made me dizzy http://www.todaysbig....com/2010/09/15 Same here, and I actually had to stop the video a time or two, just to stop my head from spinning. Like when he climbed outside the tower and was free climbing up near the top with no safety harness??? No thanks. Not for me. "oh shit, I forgot the screwdriver" Man that would REALLY suck. But my thought... This job would not work after Taco Night either... Can you say "Fire in the Hole"- at 3000 feet??? now that I think about it, I just wouldn't want to be the guy on the ground...

desrtrat Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) id just bring a parachute. Geronimoooo :eek: worlds highest free fall.. 102,800' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kittinger Edited September 21, 2010 by desrtrat (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaquero Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I'd do it. I'm a Boilermaker, and i usually work on the High rigging crew(wish I only had 30lbs worth of tools to carry around all day). I climb iron already, the highest I've been was 300 or so, but hopefully someday I'll get on a good stack job that will put me up there pretty high.

mwarren Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) F - that. More power to those guys but you would not catch my ass up there. I would guarantee you I would put a "incoming" on the crew below. Edited September 28, 2010 by mwarren (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss454327 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I would not bother with a safety harness/rope I would pack a parachute. No way I would climb down once I got up there...I would just jump off and be done with it. I wonder why they don't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
