Change a bulb on 1999ft tower

[Official Old Man]

There is a lot of rumpus about this not being live when it was advertised as live, but watch this and tell me your heart doesn't beat a bit faster on the last few feet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40F8mALRukA

You'd be pissed off if you'd got all that way with a bayonet fitting only to find it was screw cap!!!

Or if you accidentally dropped the replacement bulb over the side.....

There simply cannot be adequate renumeration for that occupation.

**** that for a game of soldiers

My heart would not beat faster it would just stop.

That was always my stock answer when The Deadliest Catch was popular.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Doesn't look too bad to me.

If it had been 2000ft, I'd have s*** meself...

Does anyone go into the careers office, on that sticky day when you've got to decide what you want to do and you say "Can you give me info about the job where you go up 2000 feet to change a light bulb", said no one ever!

There is another similar video for a slightly lower tower in Russia, but where you can see that the lead man is definitely not clipping as he climbs. He climbs at a quick rate too. Whether his mate further down has some form of anchor, you can't see. First time I watched it, I had to get up and walk round the room (no sofa to hide behind).

I really don't like heights, I don't like being 6'4" and that made my hands clammy and I felt physically sick!

[Cheeky Monkey]

Did he ever change the bulb....or just look at it?

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

How many men did it take?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Just no.

That's nothing . I've done 3000 ft .

















( Admittedly it was Skiddaw )

Nothing like 2000 feet I know, but looking at old photos such as this I always felt that those blokes painting the roof girders must have liked living dangerously as well - just look at that ladder just stuck in the middle of everything!
