No shit, and to lug a 30lb Bag up with you that's swaying 10 ft below you.

I wonder how much they make a year...I'd have to take a month off after each climb just to be sane enough to do it again.

Yea, I'm not afraid of heights and I was good to go up until the small,open rungs on a pole part....that might have been the end for me...

On another note, I wonder why they don't wear parachutes? Must be the bulk.

Free climbing at that height?! You'd think they would design in a simple way to scale those things, since it's inevitable. Some of those maneuvers he had to make to get on different sections of the tower would be brutal to reverse on the way down.

Unless they pulled the cord before they started falling, they'd look like Wile E. Coyote when the canopy deployed after hitting the dirt like a lawn dart.

Jump, and hope there is one of those inflatable cushions at the bottom!

Or maybe you could somehow rapel?

Words cannot describe the amount of "no" I would exclaim if asked to do this.
