This is no way as intense as the tower videos but I like this photo I took back towards where I came from on the way to Monta Rosa in 2007. I probably wouldn't have stopped falling/ragdolling for a good 4,000 feet if I had slipped. I particularly like the Eagle that has managed to sneak his way into shot far below.
Not sure I could put myself on top of a those towers though. In some ways it would be safer to climb them than mountains but I still feel sick from watching those videos so I'm not sure I would have the balls. The wind must be horrendous with no natural shelter.

I know exactly what you mean. I can't stand being in tall buildings, but will happily hike/ climb a mountain.
Or drop an explosive charge on an avalanche slope. Or take a nasty Patrol route through the pinnacles on mt. Ruapehu. That was fucking terrifying. Crampons on, cutting steps, my mate going for a slide- he got so lucky, and then cutting a platform to put skis on on an ice field.
Good times though, when your stomach is in your mouth.
