A couple of those made my stones retract. They left a note that they may re-emerge in about a week ...

Some people can just do this. My friend and I were looking for apprenticeships when we graduated. He became a structural steelworker. Those guys scamper across narrow beams with no problems....I became an electrician (and later electrical engineer) to avoid too much climbing. Even when I did have to scale towers (and masts in the Navy), I always had a safety line attached before I took a step...

You weren't the only one. After 5 or 6 pics, I couldn't look any more.

Old one, but still holds your attention!

Definitely NOT for me!

I value my life too much to take those sort of risks, great captures but now that you can buy a drone and capture similar shots I know what method I would use :D

Awesome images, but just proves that no matter where you come from....kids are dumb.

That's gonna give a whole new meaning to, "Bob, has left the building".

Awesome! I guess once you are higher than 30 feet, "What difference does it make?"

Longer to think of your fall for one ;)

I've had to climb the ship's mast at sea to fix radar antennas or some such and the rolling height never bothered me. However, a couple of these pictures did give me a slight sense of vertigo. Great set, but you won't catch me taking them.

Personally, I don't think they are climbing up there. They are jumpers.
