Climbing – Stairway To Heaven
Thursday, January 19th, 2012This was shot from a camera mounted on the (hard) hat of a technician. There’s this team of people who do repair work on very tall, antenna towers. The repairmen are climbing up essentially with nothing to protect them from lightning, slippery steps, attacks of dizziness, nasty birds, etc. In short, if they slip, that’s it. And it’s a long way down. But they’re quite casual about the whole thing.
Notice that the main part of their work begins after this clip ends. The climb is the getting-to-work part.
