Climbing the worlds tallest antenna at 1768 feet high... I can not express the levels of anxiety watching this gave me.

When I watch this i keep flipping between two thoughts "what if your hand slips! How many people die doing this"... and "Ok this is really the only big fear I havent conquered, how could i learn to do this".. not that I ever would, it might be too big a fear to get over. But I learned to scuba dive out of a fear of it (partly) and while the first dozen or so dives were very scary after that it wasnt scary at all, now I dive down to where the light doesnt reach and wont bat an eye. I have to wonder, could I maybe learn to overcome a fear of heights the same way? Maybe I should learn to mountain climb...

@freemo K so yeah just watched it. My body tingled and several times I felt like throwing up.

You could put a loaded gun to my head and say "climb" and I'd just tell u to pull the trigger because I'm not going anywhere πŸ˜‚

@Wetrix Same, I mean I'd try to climb it, but by the 3rd rung I'd just lock tight in place and be unable to move.
