    That was quite interesting. But I am having trouble typing because my hands are sweating and my heart is pounding. I could never do this.

    OMG, that was my exact thought. At least on the way up you can see where you're putting your hands but on the way down...well I really don't want to think about it.

    Holy moley! Wow! I'd hate to be in an arm wrestling match with this man. Can you imagine the strength it takes to do this job. Makes my life seem so dull. Thank God!

    Unbelievable! I cannot imagine how anyone could do this! I had to keep looking away and my hands are so sweaty- I can barely manage to climb up on a ladder as high as the roof. An amazing video!

    The two lines that got me were: "It's only another 60 feet to the top..." and "the safety harness slows him down"...so he doesn't wear it. No drugs or drink on that job.

    I have a fear of heights, so I didn't get through the complete video, had to stop when they said he was 60 feet from the top. Too much for me, but interesting.

    I can not even imagine doing that... It is a job for those who are young and strong.. and have a good relationship with their God!!

    I'm going to go get a glass of wine now that I'm sure my feet will walk again!

    Oh, my goodness! I just realized that I am afraid of heights after watching this, boy, you want to talk about nauseating,gag! never been that high, I was in an enclosed tower, nowhere near that height, and I was ok as long as I looked straight out, not down. All I could think while watching was omg, he has to look down to climb down,omg. As they say somebody's gotta do it.
