I dare you to watch this whole video in full screen and NOT get a queasy feeling in your stomach!

This guy climbed an antenna tower taller than the Sears Tower (I will NOT call it Willis!).

Realize that he is free climbing!

I have to go lie down...

It's not so bad, looks kind of fun actually, the only part that bothered me was seeing his tool bag dangling down there behind him...kept thinking "what if it gets caught on something? what if there's a strong gust of wind?"

Wouldn't be bad at all if he carried his tools on his body - a belt or a vest would be good.

Towards the end of the video I was curious as to what the wind was like up there... he's standing on that itty-bitty platform. :V

*has had nightmares of such things*.

I guess it wasn't part of the story of the video but what were they meant to do at the top? Change the globe in the beacon light? :S

OMFG

All that way to change a light bulb!  I understand why, but there has to be a better way.

And the light is there to warn airplanes.

He climbed all that way just to change a single light bulb? Oh hell no... I'd better be getting paid damn good money to climb so far up just for a light bulb...
