I don't know if this has been on here before but it's a 2010 video.
There isn't enough money on the planet to get me up there!

YUP it's been here a couple of weeks ago. It ruffled a lot of feathers (not from AMFONE but the tower industry) coz the climber is not strapped or belted properly and the fellow worker's face 'greyed out' for fear of not being hired on other tower jobs. Not very smart video at any height and no safety measures used.
Very scary things going on at the various transisiton points on the tower.
