Your commute ain't shit

I can't even understand this, what is it that he's climbing up?

Also does anyone have a new link for the SWTH video?

God, felt weird watching that.

The crane climb makes me feel worse than anything else in this thread.
Pull ups!? SERIOUSLY?

how bout a climb to the top of the mast on Macau Tower as a holiday?
YouTube - 1,109 ft Macau Tower mast climb - to the top!

Thank God he's wearing a helmet.

phew yeah, safety must be their first consideration.

Isn't that a Garmin strapped to his helmet?

I can't even begin to comprehend the skill of these people. Like my Mrs said when I was watching it imagine how they climb down from there in bad weather, rain wind.

I can't believe how high this is either. The effiel tower was high enough and that's a huge structure but this is just a huge poll pointing towards the sky.

Thanks for the link back to the Youtube clip of the tower climb.

That was fucking insane. I respect someone with total belief in their abilities, and a healthy disregard for the consequences of something out of their control fucking it all up. Like a squall of gusting wind and rain.

Watching the addictive tower climbing video reminded me of today's news story, about the woman who is afraid of nothing:

Wonder how she'd feel doing a couple of laps of the Elephant & Castle roundabout in rush hour, then a quick spin over Tower Bridge and back?

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.

There is nothing to fear going over Tower Bridge providing you stick to the road.

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.

I'm shit scared of flying but will happily hang off a frozen ice wall. Weird how the brain works.

And for the record, I have an irrational fear of the Elephant roundabout too.

Is the elephant roundabout the massive one that you have to time just right or end up in shit?

Its reputation is far worse than it actually is. It can get a bit hairy if you're not confident and sad to say that it has had its fair share of accidents.
