I'm not a daredevil. That would give me the willies for sure. But if offered, I would want to try it at least once. When I was in the Navy, I would always volunteer for something new if given the chance. As a young man, me and a friend climbed up a microwave tower. You know the kind where it alternates between red and white with the flashing red lights every so often with one on the top for the airplanes. I was young and dumb. Wouldn't do it again. LOL
Ive seen the ones where where guys climb cell and other towers, hell I just about get motion sickness just watching watching guys that high
Oh yeah!! The ones where they climb some insane height like 850 stories or whatever all to change a lightbulb. Hard pass.
Don't get me wrong, I definitely enjoy my chase of thrills. But heights and openness at elevation like that freaks me out, even though I'd be harnessed and secured. Whenever we did our SPIE rigging in the Marines, my HR was constantly above 100bpm.
About 30 years ago I had a patient that frequently climb ultra high towers as his occupation with power companies ---one day he was at some absurd height and was beginning to descend and suddenly for no apparent reason he was paralyzed with a case of exposure. he said there was nothing anyone could do for him so he just sat there for about 4 hours and then calmed himself and descended as if nothing happened. 20 years of doing the high towers with no issues and then bam!
