Total madness, that really is total madness!

Fancy getting all the way up to the top of that and turning to your mate and saying "right, pass me the new light bulb" only for your mate to say "shit, thought you picked it up".

Can you actually imagine how that guy was feeling. And just think, climbing back down is worse than climbing up. Madness i tell you.

If that was me I'd bring a parachute so when I'm finished I could just leap off.

hehe if you haven't watched it, it's been pulled...

seriously, I thought the guy was going to base jump at the end of the video.

p.s. when the 600' building in this pic was constructed in NYC I snuck up to the roof and climbed up a metal ladder that runs up the inside of the spire. On top there's a 4'x7' platform with a 18" raised rim which I climbed onto, and the whole building sways in the wind, let alone the spire. Not quite transmission-tower credibility but I was still scared fartless.
