Besides doing the actual climb......imagine what went into thinking it up and setting it up! ! !
And the guy at the controls looks like its just a walk in the park.
One of our faithful brothers sent this to me.....
Take a look

Scariest thing about that was the orange coat and leather pants on the announcer. Yikes!

Remember Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid???? Sitting on the edge of the cliff above the river......200 soldiers bearing down on them with their rifles drawn....
Butch says to Sundance......we gotta JUMP! ! ! Sundance replied...I CAN'T SWIM! ! ! ! ! then Butch said...."Don't worry bout that....the fall is gonna kill ya"
May be he should be wearing Bruces Foil Hat! ! ! !

My best guess is that it has something to do with suppressed feelings of anxiety and inferiority stemming from a totally co dependant relationship with his mother, further fueled by a demanding father who himself had low self esteem and compounded by being the middle, often overlooked, child then aggraviated by missing the winning field goal during his senior year in high school.......which manifested suicidal thoughts.............
or may be he just said "what the hell I wanna climb a pole with a track hoe"......its probably easier than repowering a 31 Bertram! ! ! !

Walter...
At that height, nothing is going to help the operator if he falls, whether or not he has the world's strongest seat belt!

Doesn't it look like the announcer is walking around under the machine?
Reminds me of a guy I worked with once on a construction site who made sure he was wearing his hard hat before he ran under a 35 ton suspended load.
