    Things the didn't capture. How much that tower sways in the wind.

    Everywhere you look is down unless you look strait up.

    Oh ya much worse. I've done some of that but not near that high but going down is much worse. You got to look down to make sure your feet are actually on the rung properly before you move one of your hands.

    A parachute will never work you would just collide with the guide wires then fall to your death
