Tower, as in radio or cellphone antenna towers.

I enjoyed watching this video of a worker climbing a 1700+ foot tall
tower which was referred to as a "guided tower". It was sent to me by
our worker's comp insurer who stated that tower climbing was the most
dangerous job in America.

Rats, the video already got pulled.

I always miss out on the good stuff.

If gone from there just Google +"Stairway To Heaven" +tower and you'll
find lots of other locations.


I just started watching that. "Why are my nuts drawn up so tightly, my
breathing fast and shallow, and my heartbeat accelerated?" I wonder.

I understand that flagpole painting is another fun job like this one.



If you're REALLY good, you can paint the whole flagpole as you drop
to the ground. ;-)
