    Heights don't bother me - it's DEPTHS that I have an issue with.

    So, think the union steward would come to his "place of work" to hear a grievance?

    Was that a Stormtrooper following him up the tower?

    Naw, you couldn't pay me enough. I'd eat drywall and cardboard to survive before I'd do THAT for a living.

    Almost makes you wonder just how tall the "Tower of Babel" was supposed to have been.

    I knew what this was going to be before I even opened the thread... not watching that again! It reminds me of this I watched a couple of years ago:

    I would last about 3 seconds outside that elevator, freeze up, hands cramp then fall. I didn't consider myself afraid of heights but that's just crazy.

    I've worked on steel 85-90 feet up, but that's just nuts.

    I don't mind depths, small spaces, snakes, and so on; but open heights like that bother me.

    The reason I don't like "depths" is because I can fall those depth's but I've never heard of anyone falling up (heights).

    Yeah, I also don't consider myself afraid of heights, but I wouldn't call myself comfortable either. Basically, the higher up I am, the slower I move and the less balance it feels like I have.

    Free climbing without any safety No way. That is crazy scary.
    Somebody that can do this has something missing from their brain. People are allowed to do this but California is trying to outlaw BigMacs???

    What I don't understand is what's the hurry? If you're getting paid by the hour use the safety stuff. It must be a 'macho' thing.
