More Crazy People climbing things

balls of steel, should have jumped to a haystack from there like Ezio

EDIT: LOL at the second video, the dude started complaining that the guys ahead are too slow and then snapped out a DSLR to take pics 🙂

No, the scary thing about heights is that you run the risk of falling to your death. :biggrin:

Im only 5 mins into that 12 min video of the 3 teens climbing the support wire of that bridge. I cant stand to watch anymore. It is narrow, steep over traffic with no safety wires anywhere.

I keep thinking to myself "GET THE HELL OFF OF THERE!!!!" :biggrin:

Im telling you, Im now 9 mins and my palms are sweaty and Im holding on to things around me just watching them. Hearing him breath faster and louder as he starts to get really scared is also very rattling. Their feet are slipping through the cabling. You get a feeling that any minute someone is going to die.

Im thinking "please get down safely".

I'd be much more inclined to do the second one than the first. The first climb you have to do some uncomfortable reaches, and long pulls. The bridge climb is long, but you're fairly well anchored the whole time. Nifty ending. I like the little cubby at the top.

They were not secured. If one of them slipped and /or ran into the ones behind them, freaked out, strong gust, etc., they would have been dead. The only attachment they had was their feet and hands on the floor of the gaping cables. Thats what makes it so intense.

Don't slip :^D

With the bridge you always have 2 hands firmly gripping the cables(?), and both feet planted. On the tower climb you have to make some long reaches, and have body parts swinging in the wind. I'd definitely prefer the bridge.
