[BRHornet45]

wtf!

[METALMiKE]

thats ing nuts

[BRHornet45]

sons I'm sure after you have done this a few times there is nothing to it. that dude was probably stopping to rest so he could update his status on facebook, check his email, etc.

[METALMiKE]

and scratch his leg lol

[Frenzy]

I wonder how he feels when a wind gust comes by. Or when he forgets a tool.

Found the negative...

Scanning negative #0095...

Damn...

I forgot how long this scanning can take. Been a while since I used it. This 35mm film strip has 5 frames on it and say it will take 9 minutes. This old Epson Stylus CX7800 scanner does a true 2400 dpi and will scan a pseudo 9600 dpi. I would like a faster scanner, but I haven't seen one that will do 35mm film for some years now. I do all my negative scans in 2400 dpi and save in BMP. each frame becomes a BMP around 20 megabytes and about 3311 x 2095 pixels.

10+ minutes later...

Here is one of the towers I used to maintain. At least I never had to climb this one.

Good God, one false move and or muscle spasm and it's all over.

In the past, on my way to work on a fine fall morning:

[METALMiKE]

the guy should at least take a parachute...

[baseline bum]

the guy should at least take a parachute...

I'd do it if I could bring a chute. No way I'd want to downclimb 1700 feet on those little rungs.

It wasn't that tall of a climb. He took an elevator the first 1600 ft.

[gospursgojas]

[The Reckoning]

son regardless they still had to climb at least 100ft AT 1700ft in the air ... wide open with no protection at all.

[CubanSucks]

I've climbed higher

[CubanSucks]

tallest man made structure in the world





damn Indians




second tallest man made structure, some tv mast in North Dakota

Not to be a one upper, that's scary as and I would never do it, but it's nothing compared to the you see in free climbs. That tower may be insanely high up off the ground, but damn, look at this dude without shoes on:

son cool video, but I had to watch it on mute thanks to some white boy ruining the video with that crap music.

[Fpoonsie]

Yeah, that's exactly what I was gonna say. I couldn't actually finish it.
