There is not enough money in the world that could get me to climb to the top of that tower. I get scared shit less just getting on top of my house just to clean out my gutters a couple times a year. That is just insane what those guys do, glad they enjoy their job.
found another link for it: http://www.artifacting.com/blog/2010/09/15/climbing-a-1768-foot-transmission-tower/
not sure how long it will be up, but it is basically a helmet cam video of a worker climbing a 1700 ft transmission tower. pretty wild stuff.
I might give it a shot for a few million.Any fall over 40' is the same as falling 1700' IMO. I don't want to survive a 40-100' fall ( that would be horrible), over 100' and you should be assured of death if hitting a hard surface.
Problem is the climb might be more physically challenging than I imagine, it would suck to start cramping up halfway up ( or down) !

Why don't they just keep a toolbox mounted at the top of the tower with whatever you'd ever need already there ? It seems the man could be delivered there by helicopter also ?
That tower is probably a piece of cake for mountain climbers that are used to ropes and stuff. 100' or 1700' is the same drop result.
