    I would climb that tower for 100k. I am not very scared of heights since I work off tall tall ladders and skyjacks often.

    I'm not shy to admit that I have very few fears, but heights is one of them. what is funny is I get nervous on a 6 foot step ladder, but I have no qualms whatsoever about scuba diving to any depth. If I had the proper gear and training I would not worry at all about diving to 300 feet or more. I have already been to 145 feet.

    ON a side note, this used to be my old signature....

    Brings up somthing else I've wondered about. Is there such a thing as a squirrel that is afraid of heights??? Relatively speaking, they're pretty high up there too......Probably a lot of peer pressure in thier groups.:D

    I just peed a little.

    I could maybe do it all the way up until they have to leave the ladder and go outside on that shitty ladder thing. Fuck that.

    me too for some reason. I get nervous at 10. On an extension ladder but have no issues climbing a 100' stick or bucket on a fire truck. The truck is more sturdy then the flimsy aluminum ladder. Maybe that is why

    I agree there. I think I could do that as well. Being contained inside it wouldnt be so bad. But once at the point to climb OUTSIDE? Forget it, I'm done!

    And as the opposite of you, I have no problems scuba diving to any depth whatsoever. lol. Been to 145ft and would go to 300 if I had the training and equipment!

    I ran into someone from high school awhile back. He's a lineman for the power company. Not sure if that's towers, or just poles. Either way, he appears to be doing very well $ wise. It would be easy to be jealous, but he can have whatever they pay him, it's not enough to play with that kind of voltage, let alone the heights.

    I get nervous on a 20 foot ladder.:(
